Herpies from a bikini wax?

[Robin]

About a month ago I went in for a bikini wax right before I went on vacation. The girl did a bad job of it, so I decided to have it all waxed off (my boyfriend had been wanting me to try that look anyway). About two weeks later I got what I thought was a yeast infection. It had exactly the same symptoms as ones that I had had in the past; creamy discharge, very inflamed, puffy, burning opening to the vagina. I used a 3 day monostat treatment, but it did not work well, the infection seemed to go almost completely away, then came back. (This had also happend in the past.) I called my OBGYN and asked her to prescribe an oral pill, which I took and usually works. The infection still took longer than 3 days to go away, more like 5. It's been completely gone for about a week now, but now I've noticed that I have some very small, itchy bumps and redish areas in the groves of the outside area of the vulva. I thought they were bug bites, as I first noticed them at an outdoor picnic. Now I am really starting to panic after reading info on herpies. My current boyfriend is the only person I've been with in 3 years. Could I have gotten herpies from the bikini wax?

No you couldnt of got it from the waxing, if you have herpes genitally its from sexual contact with someone. go get a blood test to find out. dont stress just do the blood test to be sure, but your probably fine.

I did have it looked at. The Dr. said that it was not herpies, that what I was seeing were just enlarged glands. She didn't have a reason for it, or the fact that they itched a bit. She said not to worry about it.

I dont agree with your doc, is she psycic? My doc said the same thing, but i said well test me for all stds anyway, i demanded it and a week later, to my suprise they called and said honey im sorry but you have herpes. i almost had a heart attack. by the way how can a doc look and say, oh thats not H. My OBs are not visable, only pain and itchyness,. iv never had a blister or sore.. so if a doc says that doesnt look like it, ask them really what does it look like, duh! stupid docs

Thats true, but you also have to consider that these doctors have seen 1000s of cases of GH, but your right, alot of the doctors don't know much bout GH... It's hard to find a really good doctor these days
