Hello!
I recently was tested for herpes and tested negative. I did continue to go on and have sex with the same guy, but one night we used a spermicidal condom. We had sex again and did not use a condom. (We also used a sugary flavored lube). He has never had unprtected sex before and has had few partners.
A few nights after I started to notice some uncomfortable itching at night on my vaginal lips. Nothing too serious, just kind of annoying. I didn't even scratch it. A lot of stress then came into my life and for some reason right after I shaved my vagina and washed it with tea tree oil to stop the itching. Of course this was too harsh and I started to feel like I had a yeast infection.
I get frequent skin yeast infections, all around my period. I have only had the doctor diagnose me for s yeast infection one other time, but this felt exactly like a yeast infection I had before. I called the docotr and she didn't see me but provided me some medicine.
I have now taken it and I am starting to feel better, but I keep feeling like I see bumps in my vagina! I'll look again or move things around and they aren't really there. (I'm on day two of the oral pill, itchyness and soreness have gone away mostly, just one side of my vagina still feels sore.)
Really, the only sympotms I had before were I was kind of sore and itchy, no discharge or anything. I am still worried this could be herpes, mainly because I am an intense hypochondriac. I see no bumps and after taking the medicine my right side of the vagina feels kind of sore, and every one in a while I'll get a random itch that has medium intensity.
Does anyone have any advice? My doctor will want me to wait this out since I just took the pill and it can take 10 days to be fully effectove. Not knowing is very stressful though.
