I’ve had problems for years that I believed to be recurrent yeast infections or something of the sort, so did most of my doctors because the symptoms I had were most similar. But now I saw a new gyno that told me some women get vaginal herpes and they think it’s yeast infections.

Now… here’s the thing – I’ve never had an "outbreak". No sores, no scabs, barely any redness. But I’ve had this texture to the inside part of my outer labia and inner labia that’s sort of like… you can’t see it unless you stretch the skin and then they look like lots of whitish bumps, slightly raised but not inflamed or anything.

Again, you can’t see them unless I stretch the skin, they’ve never EVER become sores or scabbed over and I’ve had them for a while. I can’t remember when I first noticed them, it probably was after I’d become sexually active so that’s why I’m worried.

I looked at pictures online and most herpes sores don’t look anything like it but some of the drawings I’ve seen do remind me of my "bumps". I also know that some women just have a grainy texture to their labia but I don’t know.

Is it possible at all to have herpes with bumps but no sores? For years? I know it’s possible for a couple months but not years and besides, it seems like you’d be able to see them without stretching the skin.

Please help, I won’t see my dr for a while, it’s hard to get an appointment and I’d like some info from perhaps someone who’s more familiar with genital herpes etc. I’m really worried now though I doubt I have it. My gyno said about 70% ppl don’t have antibodies so negative test results mean nothing (which I had and they were negative).

HELP!
No, they don’t look anything like genital warts, I’ve checked thousands of times. As I said, you can’t see them unless you stretch the tissue. And while I do get minor irritation around the entire area and itching (which I would attribute more to yeast or irritation from soap or whatever), it’s never really painful or bad, there are no sores which I think I would notice!!!

But I do get pretty bad itching around the entire area sometimes, enough to wake me up. It doesn’t LOOK abnormal though, that’s the thing. With warts, HPV or herpes, you would definitely get visible lesions, it seems.
Also my doctor told me to use Ivory soap and not intimate washes (I was kind of shocked) but I tried and it caused so much irritation I could barely sleep
