it is not uncommon for me to get hair bumps in my genital area. about a week ago i had about 2 bumps on my left labia and one on my right and they were VERY painful. my partner would try and fondle and i would prevent him from doing so. later by myself i decided to pull the hairs out of those hair bumps..which i did..it hurt like crazy and i ended up pulling about 6 hairs from the left lip and one from the right and they went down within the next day...around that same time i noticed another bump closer to my vaginal opening and it had the same effects..it was painful, but not as painful and it itched. i figured the hair would eventually make its way out and give release because it was awkward to position a mirror that low and try and find the hairs to pull. however it's been a week and that final bump near my vaginal opening is still there and itching. i willed not to scratch it but when my panties grace it, it calls for attention. so laying in my bed i found myself scratching ridiculously while trying to fall asleep. i pulled my panties aside to feel the skin with my fingers and noticed the itchy spot was well raised. alarmed i cut the light on and immediately grabbed my mirror and tweezers. to my dismay, the bump has evolved into a dime-size cluster of pus-like bumps and i guess because i was scratching the pus was seeping out somewhat.
i'm terrified but tomorrow is mother's day so no clinic will probably be open but i am trying to get to the clinic asap even though i have car troubles. ive informed my partner who is also worried. any possibilities? this is the first day that i've ever seen a monster like this down there.
i have been raped before, but i was tested this past fall and came back positive for gonorhea, which i was treated (twice by choice) for. i was also treated twice for chlamydia since they are a pair. i had no viruses, but i believe the only way to test for specific viruses is through bloodwork.can anyone help me to give me a headsup on what this cluster of itchy blisters might be? there is no vaginal smell or abnormal discharge, just milky white. i need help. please help me.

Hi Honey! You need to get tested again, also see if they can do a check of Genital Warts! MOST STI's on the Vagina are VERY similar so get checked out ASAP OK? And please let me know how you make out! Good luck and health!

Thank you for your prompt reply. My boyfriend and I went to the clinic on monday and I had them to run all sorts of STD tests on me including HPV, and herpes.
In the meantime while I wait a week for the HIV and herpes results and two for the rest of the STDs, I have been monitoring my issue. I asked the lady if there was anything they could do for me while i waited, to which she said no, but offered over the counter remedies to control my milky white discharge. She did like a pap procedure to get the smears she needed and said it didn't look bad, that the discharge was clumpy white like a yeast infection. I asked her isn't a yeast infection to itch? To which she replied not all of them. I was okay with that because I remember my mother telling me that when she too was in her early twenties she always had yeast infections. So I went to get the generic brand of monistat and am currently treating for that.
Also, the physician stated that herpes usually burns when I informed her that it just itched like crazy if it were tampered with. Even when she was swabbing it for testing it itched unbearably. It doesn't hurt at all. I informed her that when I stopped using scented pantyliners then it stopped itching so much. So prayerfully it is just either a bacterial infection or an allergic reaction to the scented liners. Before arriving to the doctor I had researched the "issue's" possibilities and much of what she said it could be lined up with what I had researched: HPV (genital warts, Lord forbid), herpes (Lord no), bacterial vaginosis (or however you spell it...this is one i did not find during my research), and she swabbed me for the clap again. Im hoping for BV or BI or just a mild allergic reaction and I just so happened to have a yeast infection around the time this occurred...definitely something curable..
Today is Wednesday and as I have stated, I have been monitoring the issue because I was concerned about if it would spread or not since they did not give me anything because they don't know what it is yet, today it is "deflated"..no cysts-like appearance. There is a pink area however. To touch it doesn't hurt, it just feels like if I touch it too much I will cause it to begin itching once again.
Only time will tell...:-/

Hi honey! Vaginosis or Vaginitis is BAD yeast infection - with the clumpy dishcharge this could be a bad case of it with irritation from the scented pantyliners! So the doctor did mention Genital Warts?! It is treatable honey so lets just hang in there - in the mean time i think you should be on the 7 day Monistat! Good luck and please let me know OK?

Hello,
I have the unfortunate news to tell you that it did turn out to be herpes. As devastating as it was, it is good to have people like you who are genuinely concerned and are selfless to guide individuals like me. I received the call sooner than expected (Thursday)..I was headed out of town to visit family up north. I had to put on my "poker' face in front of all of my family (even though i've never played poker a day in my life). So when I arrived to my destination I decided to call a meeting with my sister (who is 24) and my mother. I am 22. I broke the news and had to tell them all I had been through since I did not know which unfortunate event I received this disease from...the rape? the forced 3-some...or the guy I thought I was in love with after a year who gave me the clap (to which you also assisted me with). I had to tell everything and although I tried to hold my tear, we all cried, and hugged, but they encouraged me and one thing that I never knew is that my mother has been having the "poker face" all her life. If she can make it, so can I. She told me that I have to definitely manage my stress levels or that will trigger outbreaks. This will be so hard for me and Im very afraid because I'm am the walking manifestation of stress. I have to find a way, and fast.
I also consulted with my boyfriend, who I am so grateful and blessed to have because he reassured me that we will do our research and find out how to live with this disease. He also reassures me all the time that he is not going anywhere. Just last night he said so again, because I expressed how afraid I am about my chronic stress since I was like 11 years old. He pointed out things I could be grateful about...like having him, which could be a major stress to find anybody if I didn't have someone like him already in my life...also that I just graduated with my BS degree, I have good health, a loving family...he put everything in perspective so I would not worry about stressing as much, so now I have to walk the walk, for health's sake.
My mom also said that no one can actually tell when outbreaks will happen so that the medication that is used to suppress the virus may or may not work, no one really knows. She just said that she doesn't use it. She has learned how not to stress so much and has not had an outbreak in over a year. My mom is becoming to be my hero, because it seems the longer I live and reveal what I go through with her, she slowly reveals how our lives parallel..the most admirable part is that I never knew she suffered from anything other than a random anurism that showed up about a year ago. She is a strong woman.
If there is anything else that I need to know about this newfound condition I must adjust to, please inform me. In the meantime, thank you once again for your support and feedback, and I'll be researching for my future's sake.

oh yeh, it is Simplex 2 Herpes, and the White Discharge seemed to have been a non-itchy yeast infection. I used a generic monistat and the milky white discharge is gone...

Hi honey! Sorry to hear this, but you need to know something, if present day stats hold up within 10 years HALF of the population of the USA will have genital herpes!!! so you are DEFINITELY NOT alone with this! You mother is right, stress and illness can bring on an episode. Your boyfriend needs to get checked hopefully he is clean, and he should ALWAYS use protection - this disease is all about protecting yourself and your loved one from the disease! You can still have a family, you can be as normal as everyone else, just follow ALL instructions and information, and lead a healthy lifestyle as possible! This is NOT a death sentence honey! Just think of it as a nuseance! And follow as natural as possible! Eat probiotic yogurt and acidopholus - these help with attacking viruses too! You will be OK? And if you want a little vengeance you CAN sue your ex for inflicting bodily harm! ;-) XD Good luck and health honey!

Thank you once again for your prompt reply. I did too research that half of the Nation holds this secret, which is a terrible statistic even though it should be comforting in some type of way.
I also read that one can only be tested for herpes if there is an outbreak? (with regards to my boyfriend being tested) Is this true? Could there be bloodwork done instead of a swab of an unfamiliar bump to determine this? And I definitely will invest in the yogurt..thank you for the tips. You never cease to encourage me. Thank you.

From what I understand they usually take a blood sample for Herpes! So just phone your local STD clinic and have him go! Didn't they mention that when your test came out positive?
