Painful, Oozing Spots On Labia Minora. Swelling. No STI. Any Ideas?

Hi. I have a few small spots on labia minora which ooze a bit and are extremely painful and have caused swelling in the area. After they pop they look like small white ulcers and cause pain for a week or so. I get them every few months. I was tested for sti s and got the all clear when I was pregnant lat year. Any ideas?

From the information that you have given It looks like you are having Genital Herpes.Although you have specified that you were tested 1 yr back for STI,I still suspect by the history that you are having recurrent Genital Herpes and this can be treated effectively with acyclovir/valacyclovir tablets .In your best interest,I suggest you to consult your gynecologist to rule out the probability.

Hope it helps.
