Q: red sores on labia
asked by: pleasehelpasap on June 30th, 2009

i have recently found a few red sores on my vagina. they are in different places--no clusters-- one on my left inner labia, one on my outer right labia. they are kinda of pimple like but definitely not blisters. the first one i noticed is already less painful and looks to be going away. after doing some research i see that it could likely be just from rough sex but i am freaking out. my partner and i have both recently been tested (me 3 weeks ago, him 2 weeks ago so he said) and i noticed the sores 2-3 days after sex. i have no other symptoms of herpes really. i have a little discharge but we had sex 5 times and for long periods for 10 hours. and they do not itch, just hurt a little. it was rough sex and i did get a little dry at the end of all of this. could this just be from the amount of sex?

please someone let me know. asap!!!!!!!

The rough sex and dryness can cause sores..You brought up herpes simplex-this can produce sores in the vaginal area via oral sex or self manipulation if you touch a open cold sore..To make sure what it is see a doctor-it sounds like you may need to go on an antibiotic to be safe as will your partner..

I am not sure but would imagine a matter of days..Some people swera that it can't happen..I get cold sores on my lips and never once have I kissed my husband, or anyone when active..Oral sex would definetly be a no no in my book..

Go to a dermatologist and let the doc know your fear..Yes it is a private area but they do take care of these kinds of things.. best of luck honey..
