Answer
Herpes vaginalis start as vessicles (similar to chicken-pox). They resemble little pimples filled with clear liquid. In a few days, they rupture and form a crater that hurts a lot. If you have any crater-like sores around your vulva that are extremely painful, go back for an exam and get a Herpes culture of these bumps. If the culture does not grow Herpes, you have nothing to worry about. It is common to have bumps around that area from time to time (hair follicle cysts, blackheads, etc).
