I Think I Might Have Genital Herpes :( - Herpes Message Board

Ok, I am 12 years old and I haven't had sex (of course).. I haven't gotten my period, but I am due in less than a month probably (or so my doctor says). I have these weird bumps on my vagina.. They are on the outside, where the hair is, not on the inside. They keep on coming and going, like one week they are there, but then they are gone for a month! I am REALLY worried and I don't know what to do. PLEASE HELP ME!!

I can only assume that yours is a case of being something else. I have heard stories that people had cold sore herpes (type 1) and have spread it to other parts of their body with their hands. I suppose that this is not 100% impossible but it's not real likely. Do these bumps hurt or itch? It's very possible that you are allergic to some sort of soap, fab. softener sheet, laundry detergent, heck even your shampoo and conditioner can get down there and cause problems! You should let your ?Mom? know and she can take you to the doctor. Maybe a trip to the gyno is in order!

Thank you VERY much! They don't itch or hurt or anything, and I made an appointment with a doctor. I appreciate your help

Your doing the right thing by going to the doc. However, I find it highly unlikely that you have herpes. Do you get cold sores on your mouth? This could be from shaving or a lot of other things. Sounds like some kind of irritation to me.
