(I posted this in the Herpes Room, but nobody really seems to think it's that. So how about your input?)This last January I had an encounter with a guy that I really didn't know all that well (Big Mistake). Ever since then I've been really parnoid and unsure about myself. I have one little bump on the inner side of my lip(vaginal area). It's not hard or crusty doesn't hurt or anything, it's just a tiny bump...never seems to get bigger or anything just stays there. I had another one on the outside of my lip(vaginal area) and I had popped it thinking it was like a pimple or something, but it became really sore and sensitive. When I popped it (not to be nasty or anything) but it like oozed like a watery substance and then bleed. Ever since then I've had a couple little red almost like dots at the top of my vagina but they go away eventually. They don't come in clusters or anything just every once in a while one will appear. I'm very scared that this could be herpes or something related to it. I just don't see how I could of contracted it in the vaginal area, I've always used a comdom and he didn't preform oral. I could understand if I have oral herpes, but I have no signs of it oraly (at least I don't think so). I don't know nearly as much as I would like to know about herpes. Another thing that has me conserned is that lately my lips have been really dry and like peeling a lot..I keep them moisturized all the time but it just never seems to go away. Also the corners of my mouth are sometimes tender and raw like. Another thing is that my tounge sometimes has like a "patch" of raw like skin(if you would say). I can take my nail and scrap it off, but sometimes it comes back. Could this be a sign of anything I need to be worried about? I really want to go and see a dr about all of this, but I'm very scared. Mainly of the truth, I don't know what to do. I feel so alone. This whole thing has put a lot of stress and has caused me a lot of emoitonal side-effects. Has anyone ever had some of these symptoms? Please let me know! I'm scared to death!
