Are White Bumps On Vagina Signs Of Herpes?

I am writing because I am concerned that I may have Herpes. Im terrified to go get tested && I think it may put me at ease to go if I can be more certain of my outcome so that I can begin dealing w/ it. I have 2 white bumps i guess you could call them on the lip of my vagina. one is small and circular and the over is a little longer and odd shaped. It is sore to the touch but that is all. Doesnt hurt when I pee & I can do everything else fine. I have had unprotedted sex months ago so this is why I am concerned. I heard it can be other thing besides Herpes though so I wanted to ask. Today is my first day w/ these sores and from the look they already seem to be getting better. I havent done anything special to them though just shower and wet wipe after I use the restroom.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Herpes is characterized by crop of fluid filled vesicles which are painful to touch.
Transmission of herpes infection is via sexual route thus there is risk of acquiring the herpes infection or transmitting herpes infection.
The lesions that you have described could be due to herpes infection.
The lesion can be confirmed by serological tests.
Thus, I suggest you to get serological tests for herpes infection.
If the serology is positive for infection, relevant treatment can be instituted.


Thanks and take care
