Thread: Large white vulvar sore?

I've had some serious itching down there for a day or two now. Today I used a mirror to look at it and I noticed a lesion of some sort near the opening of my vagina on the left side. It's not quite a centimeter across and is somewhat abnormally shaped... blobish? It seems to be flat against the skin but the area is quite swollen. I also noticed a smaller one near it. They look similar to canker sores in the mouth.

I called my ex-boyfriend terrified that I might have herpes (we are very good friends and he is the only person I have ever had sexual contact with). I made him get tested before having sex with him. He reassured me that all things came out clean; they did a blood test. He says he has never had a cold sore on his mouth or anything like that in his genital area. I know that it's still possible that I could have it, but I'm wondering what else it could be. As an added note, I've been sick with bronchitis for the last several days and am still sick.

I plan to go to a gynecologist ASAP, but it's Friday night so it will be a couple days.

Help! I'm terrified!
