I don't have any insurance and their is
something wrong with me. I noticed two
little bubbley looking things on the
outside of my vaginal area and I don't
know what they are. They don't have any
symptoms but the other day I was so
stressed and worried about it that I
started messing with one and some puss
came out but then it started bleeding so I
stopped. They have been there for a
couple months now and it's freeking me out
like crazy. I am married and have been
with my husband for like 5 years and we
didn't see anything like it on him. I
don't see how it is possible that I could
have a std when I have been in a
monogamous relationship. Does anyone know
what this could be? :(

Sadness_cry, I am not a doctor, but I
currently carry an std known as herpes.
What you described could be as simple as
an ingrown hair, or it could be herpes.
I would recommend that you immediately
discontinue any sexual intercourse and
seek medical attention. You can call your
local hospital and ask for the nearest
free clinic. All cities and most small
towns have clinics set up that offer free
pregnancy/hiv/std testing to people that
do not have insurance.
Not to scold or judge, but you should
never let something like that go. If you
have no health insurance and no free
clinic in your area then go to the
hospital and make payments on your bill.
As long as you pay $5 a month they will
not report you to collection.
Also, I am going to make a jump and say
you would not be concerned about an std if
you are not currently active. Being
sexually active is a huge responsibility.
You have to not only take responsibility
for your own health, but that of your
partner as well. That means you need to
be getting tested for hiv and a full range
of std’s on a regular basis.
In america there is an epidemic of std’s.
I should know -- I have one. I have one
because my partner, my ex husband, was
unfaithful. At this point I hate him more
for not being careful than I do about
being unfaithful. I thank god I caught
herpes and not aids, or something more
serious.
Quick fact: 1 out of 4 americans is now
reported to be carrying herpes. There are
more that do not even know they have it.
Herpes has no cure.
