Yeast infection that causes open sores but sounds alot like herpes.....

I hope I am in the same boat as most of you ladies. I have only had two sexual partners and I am 23 years old. Both monogamous and had talks about past sexual history (the first was tested and said he was clean, second not tested but said he was clean). First boyfriend I dated for 3 years w/ no issues. Second boyfriend I dated for 5 months starting last January first time we had sex was probably in February then we broke up in the beginning of May. No initial outbreaks or anything out of the ordinary...always have had normal paps + exams. Also, I have not been sexually active in any way since we broke up (little over 7 months...dry spell I guess!). 

Normally before my period I get somewhat itchy and have a fair amount of discharge (yuck sry). On Sunday night I was itchy and went at it (fingernails a little long..again yuck sry). I also would like to add that I too finished a 2 week round of Amoxicilian for a sinus infection one week before all this went down. Well, Monday morning I noticed that things were a little swollen and it felt like I had a small tear (I have gotten them from sex before), it didn't really change throughout the day so I went and got a mirror and took a look. To my surprise I had one red sore on the inside as well as two smaller sores. They were not filled with puss or anything just looked raw and a little white due to discharge I think. At this point I am on the floor of the bathroom hyperventilating. I have had 2 partners my whole life and was safe! Girls in college called me a prude and joked about how I lost my virginity at 21. I thought I did everything right. I mean could I really have herpes?!? 

I immediately called the doctor to make an appt. and luckily got one the next day -- if you say you have a sore they will work you in w/ priority no matter how busy it is. Couldn't sleep last night, haven't been able to eat much of anything. I go in this morning trembling and basically about to cry because I am feeling like what else could it be?? My doc questioned me and then took a look. She said that it did not look like textbook herpes and that typically the first outbreak is "quite traumatic" meaning there are oozing puss filled blisters all over. I only have 3 and have not developed more. She said that she's going to run a culture test to see what it is but to mentally prepare myself for the possibility that it could be herpes. 

I know that the results could prove it wrong but I am just so nervous. My whole life is flashing before my eyes. How would I date? Have a normal sex life? Find a husband? Kiss? Keep it a secret? What if I date someone and it ends badly then they tell everyone I have it? So many questions...

The virus has such a negative connotation you can't really talk to people about it without them thinking you are a leper. My mom and I are very close and she is the only one who knows.

At this point the doctor gave me anti-virus cream to put on the sores (which is a herpes medication). So far I cannot tell if it's working or not but I will say that the sores have gotten more painful and I have had more discharge. Now I feel the awful burning sensation when I pee that so many have described. 

I am preparing myself for the worst but praying it is not herpes. I will update with results as soon as I get my test back. 

The next 2-3 days are going to be hell...

Did you get your test results back?

Im also a 22 year old female and I'm currently writing this from the exact same position you were in. Same story , had sex with my boyfriend Sunday (12/9), though I had a little tear so I ignored it. By Tuesday the pain had increased and. By Wednesday i noticed a couple of bumps beginning to form. Of course I was freaked out and since my boyfriend lives a few hours away was convinced he had cheated. I visited a doctor on the 12/14 and she told me I hakd an infection inside my vagina, which was causing warts on the outside ? She gave me a STD panel and tested my blood but everything came back negative. Regardless she gave meds for the usual suspect stds and a topical medication for the "warts".
I'm not for telling people they're wrong but I looked all across the Internet for even just one picture of warts that looked similar to mine and couldn't find a single one, but plenty of herpes that look similar. It's now Saturday, my groin lymph nodes were swollen last night and I'm in so much pain I can't move.the medicine she gave me for the "warts" is like applying acid to open wounds, which I am. Using the restroom is only okay if I pour a cold glass of water down my crotch with it or hop in the tub. Did you ever come to a conclusion on what your condition was because I'm beginning to worry. They haven't been able to tell me what I actuay have not have I recieved any antibiotics

I am having the same problems with little sores on my labia. My doctor's office prescribed me some lidocane to numb it. They also told me to put crisco on my vagina when I urinate. That was a waste. I picked up some triple antibotic ointment and I am using that to try and heal the rip in my labia that makes it unbearable when I have to urinate. I also thought of urinating while in the shower. There is no pain when i do that. I am going to be calling my doctor's office in the morning because I just started my period and so I am in a real mess now!!!

i have bumps in the inside part of my lips and the doctor said that i DO have a yeast infection but they burn when i pee sensitive to touch what do i do please help!

Wow, it's so good to know that there are other people having the same symptoms. Like you, I thought the worst and am terrified its herpes. I have a couple white sores but they're flat and look more like a canker sore than a blister. The whole area is excrushiatingly painful. Everything I read about herpes says that the sores are actual blisters that are filled with puss so I'm hoping I don't have it because my sores don't fit the herpes descriptions. This is really the most embarrassing and painful thing I think I've been through. And yes, peeing and wiping brings tears to my eyes. I really hope it's just an infection that will go away soon! This is torture!

Did you ever figure out what was wrong?? ...experiencing the same problems here. I have been with my boyfriend for a year, had a full STD screen in august, negative for everything including negative blood test for herpes I and II. Same issues but sores are not that sensitive, but am freaking out waiting for results.. any help?

I've been freaking out too, although it seems like a bad yeast infection than anything else. But these sores are driving me crazy! I had to think back to when I had a yeast infection back in high school (my first and only one till now) and I do remember some sores in my vagina, but it wasn't this bad. It all started the day after I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and the poor thing ended up getting yeast infection symptoms too, a couple days after I did. I did all the OTC stuff, the itching has subsided, it's just now the pain and burning is left. I'm not sure what stuff I could use that comes over the counter for some relief. And on top of all this, I'm having my period.

This does give me an assurrance cuz I'm freaking out the same. And it's super painful, with ulcer like symptoms. Going to pee is such a pain! And, I know that I was having yeast infection a few days ago. This is seriously the first encounter of how serious a yeast infection can get...

I have the same thing going on with me and they told me that it was herpes without getting the results which I don't understand how it could be I been with the same guy for three years we recently had a baby which he is 4 months now.......and it happened over night with the bumps and they really hurt to pee idk what to do I breastfeed so they wont give me anything I asked for a cream and she still wont give me anything I didn't see my original doctor I seen a temp....but I want to try to Epsom salt and I do have to urinate into the tub I pit warm to hot water I have not tried cold but I have been tested before and we were both clean idk what to do I feel like I'm going to die its so painful :( I really need any suggestions

Well, the blisters or sores have now went away. I started using Vagisil, which then seemed to help dry them up and heal them. Most people want to jump to the conclusion of herpes, but that's not always the case. I think sometimes when someone has a yeast infection, it can get so irritated down there, that it may cause blisters or sores. I think in my case, I made the mistake of shaving down there when I was having my yeast infection, and I remember nicking myself. A day or so after that is when the blisters started showing up here and there. I do have to say that urinating was horribly painful, but now I can go to the bathroom without any pain at all, which I am thankful for. So, I do recommend Vagisil, it may be messy, but it does get the job done after a few days of using it.

how many sores did u get

It was maybe three or four, but they were spread out throughout my vaginal lips.

omg. Kay2012. I NEED to talk to you. I have the SAME exact thing. I'm scared out of my mind.
