hello everyone.
so i’ve been having a bit of a scare. i’m so worried.
i was going thru some text messages with my ex boyfriend from last year & i found something that has sent me into a complete spiral.
last april 20th (2024), we didn’t do oral sex but he licked my vagina like once or twice before having sex. a few days later, maybe 1-3 days, i had a white skin tag on my vagina that hurt, the best i can describe it is being like some type of extra soft skin growth or something. it was on the labia, inner vagina, not my pubic area or lips. i don’t remember it being a severe hurt it was more so sore, and it didn’t get any worse but it lasted for 6ish-7 days max maybe? i only remember it as being sore. we did also have multiple rounds of sex at this time and i believe the first time we had sex i was sore, and the second time is when he licked me. these rounds were like 20 minutes each. by april 27th, the white skin tag was gone. the area was itchy and i think i had discharge so i went to planned parenthood. i then got diagnosed with a yeast infection, because there was candida present, and took diflucan. the crazy itchy went away, however my pH was marked as normal, so im worried. apparently i may have had a UTI at the time too? however my bf did have a bacterial throat infection that same week after he licked me. he was prescribed antibiotics and he was fine & he never had anything physical cold sore on his face or lips. at this time i also apparently used antibacterial soap on my vagina, just a little extra fact i found out.
i’m just super worried that i might have dismissed the idea of it being gHSV1. im so worried and nervous about this, i intend to get tested but since my parents have HSV1, i may have already been exposed to it so my test may be positive. ive also had sex with another person since then and nothing happened to him or my ex. but i dont wanna pass this to someone else if it is.
i have never had anything like that happen before or since so im really stressing out and i dont know whether to get the blood test or not, as my parents both have HSV1 and i know it doesnt tell you where on your body it is.
i’ve never really heard of soft skin growth/tags being temporary and im truly just so devastated and scared. i’m only 22 and i just have no idea what to do or feel.
anything similar ever happen to anyone else? could this be me overthinking? thanks in advance. ❤️
