Hi, I had to make a new LJ to post this question, because I am extremely scared/nervous/embarrassed.
For the past few days (2 ish) when I wipe after I pee, it has been a little tender. This morning in the shower, I was cleaning myself, and felt a bump. I had my boyfriend come look, and he said it was just a red bump. It feels hard on the inside, and is probably about the size of a pea. I freaked out thinking it could be herpes. I've only had sex with this one person, my entire life, and unless he cheated on me, I don't see how I could have gotten it. He is claiming there's no way he gave it to me, and he wants to break up now (we've been dating for over 4 years and have a child together) because he thinks it's disgusting and there is no way he'd ever have sex with me again because of it. I have no health insurance, but I'm doing to try and go to the health department tomorrow and check it out.
I was looking on webmd and thought it might possibly be a Bartholin Cyst, in fact I'm kind of hoping and praying that it is. But... I just felt around again and I felt one more small little lump, that I can't see at all, even when looking right at it, but I can feel it. It is also slightly sore.
Does this sound like herpes?
ETA - the large on is inside, where hair doesn't grow, and the smaller one is on the hair-line, but also sort of inside.
