Hello all!

I have not been diagnosed officially from a doctor and all of the websites offer very different information. I am in a different country, and cannot get to a clinic soon. 

I am very confused, so I figured if I asked someone that is already diagnosed, they can let me know if they experience the same symptoms.

I am the type of person that assumes I have everything and I make myself experience symptoms just by constantly thinking about it! Anyways, I'll get on with my symptoms:

Large (slightly larger than a pea) lump on my prepuce of clitorous. It is slightly painful upon pressure. It is not blister like, it appeared after I shaved on Sunday and just today it had a slight white spot on top. It has been fairly hard.

I have been feeling a little unwell, sore throat, head ache, sensitive eyes, slight uti symptoms happened a couple days ago(also includes increased urination frequency which I cannot find as a symptom). Again, I only feel these symptoms when I am focusing on them.

At the end of December I also had symptoms, I had one large bump again on my labial majus. It happened after a pain while I was trimming and it was purple. I called the local sex health clinic and she said that I had just pinched myself with the razor and that it was not herpes. 

If anyone can let me know their opinions so I can get a direct answer before I am able to visit a clinic I would extremely appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I would have to agree that what you describe does not really sound like a herpes lesion. You would need to visit a doctor for a swab to really identify the reason for the bump and they might be able to give you an indicator visually as to the most likely cause. This can be done by your local doctor.

Is there any reason to suspect herpes? Have you had any sexual partner since prior to the first bump appearing?

I am just very paranoid about previous relationships. I have a very short lost of people that I have been intimate with but there is still a chance. I have been doing a lot of research and herpes matches my symptoms the most. I just can't find any other cause of my lump.

sebaceous cyst? molluscum? folliculitis? yeast ulcer?  there are plenty of things that produce herpes looking lesion (and vice versa!)

If you are suggesting that you've had no real genital issues prior to the first bump and no sex in the two preceding weeks tot hat bump, then you have absolutely zero reason to suspect herpes is present.

If you are a bit of a hypochondriac then it might be worth going and getting blood tested anyway if you are saying that you have had several unprotected partners

I'm still a little sceptical, but that brings me a bit of piece of mind. If it's still there by the time I can get to a doctors, I'll try to get it checked out.

      @WilsoInAus i requested my partner, but they are refusing from testing and saying they dint had any symptoms. Now the only way i left is to wait untill 12 weeks window period right? I am not getting what to do in this case. Any suggestion for any other tests?

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.
