WORRIED ABOUT A SORE

Summerflower076 · 21/06/2025 07:59

Hi this is a wierd one but I've noticed a week after intercourse that I've had a really painful red sore its hard to explain the place it's like the outskirts of my lip downstairs. Im panicking hoping it's a general sore but it looks like a red lump ish sore and it has like maybe a tiny bit of fluid inside like a fluid spot i took pic this morning with flash to see what it resembles so i could get a good idea of how to explain. Now the weird thing is this encounter i had i had been talking to him a few months on and off and he wasn't on the best place living wise homeless etc. Now I also got talking to the brother nothing like that just normal chat now he's told me have i been checked out because his brother and his mates kind pf wound me up joking maybe saying you want to get checked out. Now what worried me as he's lost his phone now i haven't even spoken to the guy but his brother is on holiday with him i rang the brother last night he said did u get checked out is this a indicator of something like he knoes something. And i only had this encounter last Friday would symtoms show this soon?

So, you think you've caught something from someone you slept with who's now blanking you and talked to his brother about it. That in itself is mind boggling.

Suggest you do as he suggests.

There is no other way to say it but make an appointment soonest at your local Hospital sexual clinic.

I was chatting to him and his brother but had feelings for this one im on about the brother we were just chatting. But the brother i slept with has sold his phone for money when he left mine last Saturday morning so i don't know if he's blanking me or is it because he has no phone.But i spoke to the brother who's on holiday with him and there's no relayed messages from him from the brother the brother asked did i get checked out which is wierd

Honestly it sounds like genital herpes and you need to get checked out asap

Search for your sexual health service for your area you should be able to book online. Stop worrying about the guy and worry about yourself. Yes he has possibly given you something but it can also lay dormant in your system.

Summerflower076 · 21/06/2025 08:32

Ive been looking online im not sure if i book with my gp or a certain clinic i do however have a sexual health clinic by me i will see where i have to book ive never had anything like this before so its knocked me for six a bit. Obviously can't really speak to family or friends as its not a great thing to bring up i feel a bit disappointed in myself

Get checked out. Full STI test. I don’t know why people don’t do this as routine health checks. No point worrying just get checked. Your GP nurse will give you swabs to swipe the sore for HSV and bacteria. Most will let you do them yourself if they have no appointments. It’s important to swab the sore now when it is painful.

You also need full STI blood tests too.

DiscoBob · 21/06/2025 08:56

Sounds like herpes. You really shouldn't have had unprotected sex with a homeless stranger!

Please go to the clinic and block this disgusting duo.

QuestionableMouse · 21/06/2025 09:15

I'm not being awful but your posts are really hard to read. Can you try to make them more coherent? I have dyslexia and your first one is impossible for me to understand!

You need a full STI screen at your nearest clinic or GP.

AmberKoala · 21/06/2025 09:23

Yes the symptoms of herpes show up about a week later. Get it checked ASAP. Sorry.

sciaticafanatica · 21/06/2025 13:36

Have you really had unprotected sex with a homeless stranger?

Hoppinggreen · 21/06/2025 13:38

Hopfully you are ok but do get checked out
Then make better choices

Agree, sounds like herpes, best get yourself along to your local s3xual health clinic. No shame in it, but they can diagnose and treat

Stripeyanddotty · 21/06/2025 13:41

Are you on the pill?

LoafofSellotape · 21/06/2025 13:44

Get checked out ASAP.

Tinkerbell7777 · 21/06/2025 13:46

Yep, genital herpes. Which stays for life now sadly. You can get medication to take as soon as the symptoms start showing next time. Maybe he said about getting himself checked because he knows he has herpes and he’s going to try and suggest it came from you. If he knows he had herpes and still had unprotected sex with you, that’s terrible…

Summerflower076 · 21/06/2025 14:04

Thank you all. He was living at his aunties he was homeless before she took him in and sorted him out but im not sure about down there the brother suggested and his mates i ough to get checked due to his living arrangements before living with his auntie. Its been quite sore today unbreable almost i have been googling and boils and cysts also show up as certain symtoms to but i am definitely going to get checked there's a local sexual health centre walk ins every Thursday beetween 3-5pm

I think it's best to get anti vitals asap but happy to be corrected.

LoafofSellotape · 21/06/2025 14:31

** anti virals

Summerflower076 · 21/06/2025 16:22

Not sure if im allowed to post the picture but ive made it as decent as i can im not sure if it looks like a normal sore or something regarding a sti. Obviously im panicking because of his homeless history and the brother now and again going on about getting checked but not sure it was in a banter way. But he did randomly ask last night have i been checked yet. The brother that is not the one i meet

Jesus Christ no one wants to see pics of your genitals.

Go to a sexual health clinic. They're the only ones who can help you.

seenitallbefore · 21/06/2025 16:29
