Well I don't even know where to start! I am worried that I may have contracted herpes from performing oral sex on a woman.. Is this possible? I recently noticed a tiny sore on my vagina that burned when I urinated. It lasted for about a week or so. I've also been getting a burning sensation in my legs, buttocks and one of my feet? Is that a sign of herpes? I have always gotten cold sores my whole life, but have never had any type of sores on my vagina! The thought of me having an std scares me to death and it seems its the only thing I can think about! Someone please help me!!!

You can't get herpes on your genitals from performing oral sex.

And if you get cold sores and perform oral sex, you can pass herpes to the receiver's genitals.

Do you know if the burning sensations I've been getting is a sign of herpes? I know that I should go to the doctor, I'm just scared of what they will tell me! Fear of the unknown!

I was told I have herpes when I was 22 I am know 35.
When I was told I was single. Having to tell your boyfriend or husband puts it into a reality check.
Anyways.... herpes burns, feels scabish around your vagina. It does hurt to pee although I have never had it hurt in my foot

. One thing is you should be very careful and make sure that you let your partner know.
I would go and have it looked at and make sure for your self and your partner that you are ok.
Please go and make sure you are ok. one thing with herpes is if you get pregnant you really need to make sure your doc knows.

I never had a burning sensation. It could be anything. Get the facts from your doctor before you start worrying.
