What Causes Sores On The Inside Of Vagina With Normal Tests?
Question: I have been having these lumps on the inside if my vagina I've had checked and I've gotten a blood text which was negative for everything! But that was in January I've had one sex partner since and it's still the same lumps they said were fine I need a second opinion, do you think it's herpes?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
These are not lumps, but more like sores.
The possibility of herpes cannot be ruled out, however the lesions do not look like typical herpes lesions.
Herpes can be easily checked for, by having a swab of the lesions taken.
That is what should be done right now.
Blood test for herpes is not as reliable as the swab test.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.

That is what I have repeated again and again, that they do NOT look like herpes.
When you have a chance to have a definitive opinion by a simple smear test and live in assurance , then why not get it done ?
That is what I have suggested.
