I had one blister, what I thought was a small tear, last Thursday. Within the last two days I noticed it didn't heal and I got more of them. Yes I am sexually active. What does it look like? Could it be something other than herpes?

Brief Answer:
Is a genital herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again and thanks for trusting to us your health issue.

From the pictures you have sent to me they show that these small vaginal ulcers are from herpes infection.

To relive pain you can try with :

Sitz baths with warm water adding Betadine solution (1 liter of water two table spoon betadine) three to four times per day

Keep them dry
Use cotton panties
Drink much more water
You can take over the counter creams containing Acyclovir (antiviral) two times per day for 5 days

Wishing you a fast recovery
