Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern, I would explain that it doesn t seem to be herpes. Nevertheless, a papillomavirus, or any other infections including yeast, even a local reaction, may be a possibility. It is necessary to perform that physical examination by your gynecologist for a comprehensive differential diagnosis. Possible additional tests will be necessary. Meanwhile, try to protect your sexual partner, if he hasn t already the same signs. Avoid sexual intercourse till the diagnosis is clarified. A concomitant therapy should be started for your partner too. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
