Q: Sores on outer vagina
asked by: jocelyn4734 on May 31st, 2009

So a few days ago i had noticed that my outer part of my vagina had been getting a little swollen and as of yesterday i had a small bump that sort of looked like a pimple or maybe an ingrown hair, and then today i have several, and they now look like small holes, or almost like a canker sore, on my outer vagina, in the crease. Last night they hurt with immense pain and through the afternoon. i haven't made a doctors appointment yet but im thinking of doing so tommorow, im thinking it may be a bacterial version of vaginitis or herpes, ive also had a little white discharge , and no smell what so ever.
I'm so confused because my boyfriend and I were both virgins and he's been checked already. I've never had unprotected sex.

Mmm, sounds like it can be genital herpes. It can be transmitted during oral sex from his mouth to your vulva, even though this is not as common as sexual transmission.

There are also a host of other things that can look like herpes. Have yourself checked out.

Susan is right in that you can transmit herpes from oral to genital. As far as never having unprotected sex, sometimes if the condom is not on correctly, there is skin to skin contact. This would put you at risk for infection. There are also HPV warts that are sexually transmitted. HPV virus is carried by men and transmitted to the women (this is the bugger that causes most cervical cancers) So you could have an HPV wart that needs to be checked. Also, if you have a white discharge with itch, it could be a yeast infection. This can be cured with Monistat 7 cream you can buy over the counter. Do not have sex during treatment and it should clear up...don't stop treatment just because it feels better. Take the full 7 days. You can call your local Health Department Clinic for a checkup is you need help.

Okay so i posted it on may 31st and it's now june 18th, and i have the same symptoms as before, but its now near my anus.
I'm so confused and worried, it's not infected yet, but i am worried as it is spreading.

I got my results and its not herpes, or any STI
help?

when the doctors did the tests they couldnt tell what you had by looking at it.
usually the best test for herpes is the doctor looking at it, it was told the other test isnt 100%
