So two days ago I started getting I itchy down there and noticed a really tiny cut, right next to my clit. it was late at night on a Saturday so I knew i would have to wait till Monday to go to the doctors. yesterday's is Sunday and j wake up and noticed that little cut looks like it's healing, but I'm still super itchy. This morning I wake up with what appears to be a pimple right next to my left but the cheek, and i examine closer and find a tiny tiny open sore on the entrance of my vagina. So of course I am freaking out. I went straight to planned parenthood and explained my situation and got a culture doctor said it would be tough Bc they are so dry. But I came back positive for a yeast infection, and she said it's "suspicious" for herpes but isn't sure. So now I have a wait a whole week for results for what "might" be. She did put me on medication because if it is it might help. It's hard to even think this is herpes. I spoke with the guy I'm seeing... we've been having sex for a month now and recently had unprotected sex. He said he's clean and just got all tests done in July. I am hoping this just from the yeast infection and not herpes. I just don't know and it's killing me

I got a sinus infection then went to the doctor for treatment. They prescribed my amoxicillin for the infection. A couple days later, I started experiencing some redness, itching, and dryness on my vagina. My partner fingered me and we performed oral sex on each other despite my problems down there. About a week later, I noticed small bumps on my vagina. They were filled with pus and extremely painful. It was impossible to urinate, walk, or even lie down because of the bumps. A couple days later, more bumps/sores appeared and I had yellow discharge. I was in so much pain so I went to the hospital. Upon looking at my sores, the doctor diagnosed me with herpes and said that it looks like I got this recently. I did not want to accept that diagnosis therefore, I made an appointment with my OB/GYN. He performed a culture test on me and a blood test. As I waited for results I was prescribed Diflucan for a yeast infection and Valtrex for herpes. I only took the Valtrex twice then stopped because I truly believed that I did not have herpes. It took a week for my results and by that time, my sores were starting to heal. My culture came back positive for HSV 1 but my blood work was negative for herpes. My doctor urged me that it is because I contracted this recently. I still do not believe that I have herpes. Is there anyway that a culture can be wrong? I did not start experiencing any of these problems until I started taking the amoxicillin. I can still smell the amoxicillin in my urine.

Did you ever go to the doctor for it? Same thing happened to me after taking amoxicillin. My blood work was negative but my culture was positive. I was told that some cultures come back positive for hsv due to yeast. I pray that's what the problem is. I have always has problems with yeast infections.

I've also had a history with yeast infections and BV. I was on amoxicillin and literally the same thing happened to me! I got a positive culture and negative blood test. Did you ever get any further results?

Check for Mono.
For those of you with Herpetic-like sores that come up negative on Herpes tests, check for Mono (EBV). It's the 2nd leading cause of vaginal sores after Herpes. I just went through 5 weeks of pain, doctors, and uncertainty before we figured this out. In my case, I'd already had Mono, but it looks like it was a reactivtion of the virus in response to another illness.
It can be treated with a course of Prednisone.
Good luck ladies.

I get rid of yeast infection and new round of antibiotics brings it back worse.now it won't stop for anything, AZO, which I take for my uti' stops the pain from Urinating and hydrocortisone is about the only thing that gives me any relief down there.I haven't had sex since my husband and I split this time last year so......please answer if you are still following this thread.

Hi Kay, I am experiencing the EXACT same thing and it is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I can't work and I can't sleep. Just looking down there makes me freak out because I don't know exactly what's going on. My OBGYN gave me some treatment for a yeast infection a couple of days ago but it's only gotten worse and now that there are sores involved, I have the herpes fear too! This is horrible. I really hope I end up getting the same good news as you. Thanks for sharing

Hey Kay2012 I'm 22 experiencing the same things I haven't been to the doc yet but I'm really afraid that I could have herpes.

Update: I went to the clinic today, and they did an exam and also tested me for everything. It turned out to be a really bad yeast infection. It burned when I had to pee, and itched really bad. They gave me a pill to take to get rid of the infection, but no STD! God is good! I wish you all the best.

It sounds like herpes to me. I would know. A lot of these comments do though. Everytime I get an OB it's usually associated with a yeast infection because I get flu symptoms and usually go to the doctor and they just give me antibiotics, so maybe the sinus infection the week before was really just a symptom. Plus every single outbreak I've had has been around the time I'm going to start my period when I already feel like sh*t and my vagina is already angry. Plus the sores? Sounds like textbook herpes.
