ok this is a long one...

last sexual encounter was march 17th of this year...as far as i know the guy is clean but it wasnt a boyfriend kind of just a one night thing..used a condom and didnt (not responsible at all i know)

about 6 weeks ago i wiped after going to the bathroom and felt a slight sting...looked with a hand mirror and didnt see anything but there was a small cut (tiny) near the opening of the vagina--no raised skin/blister/bumps and i put some neosporin on it---next day it was gone

approx once a week/every 6 days maybe it happens since then...i was on antibiotic (strong ones) for my roseacea on my face for 21 days...the last day was may 3rd (the day i felt the stinging) and i was itchy down there....read that the antibiotic causes severe yeast infections in women and could also cause irritation in that area...i am very prone to yeast infection/bacterial infections....but i have been exercizing reg, eating alot of yogurt with live active cultures and taking acidophillus regularly... was not allowed to take the acidoph while i was one the antibiotics and was not getting any yeast infections before the medicine for quite some time...i am going to the gyno next week but i really need to know your opinion...everything ive read so far doesnt add up to herpes but i have never gotten a paper cut-like/tear in the perineal area (its by the opening to the vagina kind of bet the ass and the vagina)--ive been down there with the hand mirror prob a hundred times and i know for sure there are no lesions, bumps, sores, blisters...these outbreaks im reading about dont seem to be similar and i feel like this area of the skin down there is severly irritated and tears as a result---but i know i could be wrong...i am seroiusly not sleeping b/c of this

sorry for the long email but im trying to be as clear as poss--im so worried

I responded to your post in the other forum. I don't think you have herpes. Just wait until the gyno appointment, and relax until then because there's nothing you can do now, and changing the past is impossible.
