I’m back and purchased new questions. My last igg test was negative but since then I had something disconcerting happen.
I had resumed sex with my partner On 1/6/2014.
I don’t know his status and he says he’s fine but that’s not something I can confirm.
About 11 days later I have weird symptoms develop!
I went to visit family and had been using summer’s eve feminine wipes a lot as we were out of regular toilet paper. I remember my vagina also being particularly damp that weekend and there was some white pasty discharge that was sticking to my vaginal entrance but do not recall an external itch. That night I went to bed and masturbated twice and felt lightly irritated. I went to sleep and woke up in the morning to take a shower and lathered on summers eve delicate skin wash and then felt some irritated skin that I may have further irritated by rubbing and lightly scratching in the shower. It was the jagged edge of the flaps. I have gotten irritations before in that exact spot. When I got out of the shower and took a look I saw irritated papercut like scratches that were bleeding a little (2 little Knicks). The area continued to sting as I urinated and create tiny little specks on toilet paper. I have attached a picture of them.
This started Sunday morning in the shower when I believe I rubbed or scratched the irritated tissue. It also coincided with my period and I notice the texture and sensitivity of my skin changes down there during certain parts of my cycle either smoother or more grainy. All of monday it stayed irritated (kept touching) and Tuesday was making improvements and by this morning it no longer hurts and new skin is developing and it’s pretty much healed. No swollen lympnodes or other symptoms.
The first picture is from Tuesday (this all started Sunday)
And the second picture from today (Wednesday)
My question:
Does this look/sound like herpes?
Was this is an outbreak from my encounter on 1/6/2014, which would make it 11 days post exposure?
