Bumps on Vagina

27 April, 2014

Dear Dr. Rob: My boyfriend found out he had herpes right after Christmas. We went to the doctor together and he received Valtrex and we weren’t sexually active until all the blisters had cleared up.

Sexual Transmission

Dear Dr. Rob: I’ve had itching right inside the vaginal opening and I can feel some small bumps right inside the opening.

Asymptomatic Shedding

Dear Dr. Rob: I recently started seeing this girl. After being together for almost a month one night we ended up sleeping together without a condom. About 6 days later she calls me up and tells me that I have given her Herpes Type 2. The thing is that I have no symptoms nor have […]

Outbreaks on my Buttocks
