I can't wait to go to my gynecologist to talk about the problem I'm having. I've researched and researched on the internet for months trying to find someone that has a problem that sounds like mine. I'm terrified.

About a year ago, a developed a pea-sized blister on my labia. I left it alone and it went away. Not too much to worry about. About two months later, I developed another one, in a different spot on my labia. It, too, went away. No popping, no scabbing, nothing. Just very, very, painful. About one month later, another appeared in yet another different spot, on the opposite labia. Then , a few weeks later, another appeared. And another. And another. Each time I only get one of these blistery bumps and they clear up on their own.

Over time, they've been appearing more and more often. It's gone from every few months, to every month, to every few weeks, to every week, and starting two weeks ago, they're constant. They last for about 4 days and then are gone for 2 days and another shows up again. Sometimes in the same spot, usually in different spots, and always on the labia majora. Only once or twice have I had two at once.

I've tried several things to try and stop these. Warm baths - don't help. Changed laundry detergent - didn't help. I don't even sleep with bottoms on so I get extra air down there and that doesn't help!

I'm really scared and while I do have an appointment with the gyno, it's not for another month and I just can't take it anymore. It's destroying my mental health.

Also, if anyone is curious about it being an STD- I am with my boyfriend of 1.5 years. We don't use condoms (I'm on birth control). These bumps did not appear until after we've had sex for about 7 months. I honestly don't believe it to be an STD, as I do remember long long ago when I was about 14 or 15 (and still a virgin) I developed two of these bumps at the same time. And they went away on their own, but never came back. Not until now anyway.

Can someone please, please help me? At least try to put my mind at ease until I see the gyno? I'm most worried about it being an STD but I just can't find any information anywhere about Herpes or Syphyllis or anything that even remotely describes my problem.

Please help me.

Thank you.

What You Seem To Be Facing May Be A Bout With Herpes. If You Research Some Images You'd See That They Are Blisters That Fill With Liquid And If Untouched Or Left Alone They Either Burst On Their Own Or They Just Go Down. What The Herpes Virus Does Is Travel From The Base Of The Spine To The Inital Point Of Contact (which Seems To Be Your Labia) From Time To Time...then Retreat Back To The Base Of The Spine Again.

Your Partner Might Not Have Been The Person To Give It To You, As You Can Get This From Even Sitting On A Bathroom Seat...someone's Infected Hands Touching You And So Forth. Although There's No "known Cure" To Herpes (thats What They Say)...i Find That Prayer And Faith In God Can Deal With Anything. But If You Choose To Go Another Way...there's Something That I Read On The Internet A Couple Of Weeks Ago That Claims That It Kills Herpes All Together. I Cant Remember The Name Of It But I Did Read That It Came From Austrailia And Is 80 Dollars For The Bottle.

Im Hoping That It Isnt Herpes You Have And Its Just Something Else But Good Luck Anyway. Think About It This Way...if It Iss Herpes...you've Been Living With It For This Long And It Hasnt Killed You Then So Why Should It Kill You Now. Keep Us Posted. We Care About You. Good Luck.

I have had 'bumps' in those same areas for years, but mine are ususally harder than liquid. I have gone to the doctor, only to have them be almost gone when I get there, or they just keep saying "watch them, if they don't go away or get larger we will look further". Never looked further, they keep going away! So, most likely they are just build ups that will keep going away.
