Is this a blood blister or an STI? Apologies for photo! [INCLUDES GRAPHIC PHOTO]

So I had unprotected sexual contact, without PIV, about 6 weeks ago.

this morning I noticed these 2 purple spots/lumps on my labia minor. They are not painful but are a little uncomfortable.

I did go running 2 days ago and found my leggings were riding into my crotch and felt quite uncomfortable. Not sure if it’s blood blisters or something from that, or an STI.

I will be going to the docs if it doesn’t improve in a couple of days.

Not sure whether your post will get taken down because of the pic, but just wanted to say it might be wise to go to a sexual health clinic asap. Whether it’s an sti or not, they’re the experts in recognising problems in the genital area.

Hi honey. You need to get that checked out asap.

Thank you for the quick responses. Yes I will definitely get it checked out. It’s odd because it doesn’t look like any of the photos for the most common STI’s like hen tail warts, herpes etc. but I can’t really find any photos of anything that looks similar.

Don't wait. If it herpes they can only conform that from an actual outbreak.
