That sounds like herpes to me. I am cursed with that too and stress is what triggers it for me. Very painful, especially in the beginning; the Acyclovir ointment I thought helped with the pain; my insurance used to cover but no longer. These bumps or cysts I have now are not HSV. I almost wish they were because those go away eventutally; these appear to be permanent.

It's wild because right now I have -0- issues but I think I am betting the vagianl (vagifem) estrogen is part of the absence of them. However I have had breast cancer so I really need to ask if this is worth the risk to continue taking them. It's terrible to have this problem and wonder will I ever be able to have sex again? And also the embarrassment of having it and thinking who do you feel comfortable speaking with about it. Thank goodness for these forums where you can be free to speak about things like this without feeling shamed!
