Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease(oral sex included). It may be spread to the mouth(oral herpes) or to the genital area(genital herpes).It is a virus that lies dormant in your spinal cord(it never goes away) and when it becomes active it rises to the surface to reactivate. It usually reactivates itself in the area where the disease was first contracted. \nYou may contract this STD from someone who has an active herpes outbreak and the sores are visible or from someone who has never had an outbreak but still has the virus.\nMany people do not even know they have the disease because they never have a first outbreak or if they do it is mild. Then they may never have another for the rest of their lives.\nIf a first outbreak occurs it is usually 1 to 2 weeks after contracting the disease. It's very painful and starts with a tingling and/or itching in the infected area. Then bumps that look like tiny pimples appear. These "pimples" then pop and cause red sores that are very painful. They can last anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks depending on the person.\n1 in 4 people have herpes and there is no cure. Hope this helps.

YOU SHOULD REALLY GO TO YOUR GYNO IF IT SMELLS.....IT MIGHT BE A YEAST INFECTION OR AN STD.

Sounds more like common blood blisters to me.  These occur when you masturbate too hard, or have your penis in a strong vacuum device etc., or someone doing oral sex on you is applying a very strong suction.  Herpes lesions are characterized by clear fluid filled blisters on a red rashy background area of the skin.  Your description sounds much more benign than that.  Note that if they go away on their own within 3 to 5 days, they are probably just blood blisters.

I don't know if this helps.  It IS confusing to figure out how it might happen that you would be exposed 16 years ago and just now have an outbreak.  That doesn't seem possible.  However, it is possible to be infected 16 years ago and never have had a primary or recurrent outbreak.\n\nWhat Happens\n\nYou can become infected with genital herpes when the herpes simplex virus (HSV) enters the body through sexual or other direct contact with herpes sores. HSV infections cannot be cured. Once you are infected with HSV, the virus remains in your body for the rest of your life. Many people do not develop symptoms and thus are unaware that they have the virus.\n\nFirst-time (primary) outbreak\n\nThe incubation period—the time from exposure to genital herpes until the primary outbreak of infection—is 2 to 14 days. The entire body may be affected, causing you to feel as though you have the flu. Blisters appear around the genitals or anus or in the area where the virus entered the body. The blisters break within a few days and become painful, oozing sores. The sores usually heal within 3 weeks (without treatment) and do not leave scars. Sores that occur in women usually take longer to heal than sores that occur in men.\n\nRecurrent outbreak\n\nAfter the primary outbreak, the herpes simplex virus remains in the nerve cells below the skin in the area where the sores first appeared. The virus stays in the nerve cells but becomes dormant, causing no symptoms. In most people, the virus becomes active from time to time, traveling from the nerve cells to the skin and causing repeated blisters and sores (recurrent outbreaks). \n\nSores from recurrent outbreaks usually heal faster and are less painful than those from the primary outbreak. People report that certain factors such as stress, illness, new sex partners, or menstruation may trigger recurrent outbreaks.\n\nAbout half of the people who have recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes feel an outbreak coming a few hours to a couple of days before it happens. They may feel tingling, burning, itching, numbness, tenderness, or pain where the blisters are going to appear. This is called the prodrome.\n\nPeople who have symptoms average five outbreaks per year during the first few years. Most have fewer outbreaks after that. The pattern of recurrent outbreaks—how often genital herpes infections return and how long outbreaks last—varies greatly. Some people have many outbreaks each year while others have only a few or none at all.\n\nGenital herpes infections caused by HSV-1 recur less frequently than those caused by HSV-2.

it could be a sign of infection.  if you have been having unprotected sex, you should go to a clinic or your doctor and get tested.

Herpes type 2? where on your bikini line, groin, bosoms, etc. do you have pubic hair? if you dont, its hair sprouting from your area

These are not typical signs of herpes. You would experience extreme pain and in or around your vagina especially when you go pee. Stomach pain and loss of energy are not typical symptoms. You would get reddish or white soars on or in your vagina. They might bleed lightly but not even close to enough for period like blood. It sounds like you have maybe another problem. I would go to your doctor immediately. Good luck!!!

I am sorry to say but Mike is WRONG:\nThere are two types of Herpes,  Herpes simplex type I or II. Either type can infect the mouth or genitals (if you're really unlucky you can have 4 lifelong infections going at the same time: HSV1 and 2 in the upper body, HSV1 and 2 in the lower body. This would be very rare). When your incfected, the virus "hides" in the nervous system between outbreaks. It will protect you from a new infection of the same type, not of another type.\nOnly about 25% of Americans over the age of 12 DO NOT have antibodies against one of the two (standard test for exposure and infection).\nHSV1 is extremely prevalent (very easy to pass on, quite innocently, just by an injudicious kiss to a baby). Most everybody (up to 90% of the population) has antibodies against HSV1 by the time they're 50.\nAbout 20 to 30% of the population has antibodies against HSV2, more women than men (infection is easier for females), but HSV1 is fast becoming a major cause of genital herpes.\nMost people with HSV1 have just "fever blisters". Some have it bad, a terrible rash from the nose down to the chest, inside the mouth, it looks like a case of pox. It can last a few days to over a week. Genital herpes is basically the same on the genitals, blisters and lesions, individually different how bad. \n\nNow about transmission: It mostly happens when you have a blister/blisters going, through direct skin-to-skin contact. Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of the first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over. Also try to prevent self-infection to other areas of your body. Wash your hands with soap and water if you touch a sore. Better yet, don't touch the sores.\nUnfortunately, the virus can sometimes  spread , when no signs or symptoms are present. This is called "Asymptomatic Transmission." Often people don't know they are infected, these people may have symptoms so mild they don't notice them at all or else don't recognize them as herpes. They can also spread it. Still, asymptomatic transmission appears to be far less likely than spreading the virus when lesions are present.

http://www.herpes.org/\n\nIt is known that partners infected with genital herpes can transmit the infection to an uninfected partner BOTH when symptoms are present (such as redness and blisters) as well as when no symptoms are present (called "asymptomatic shedding"; see the paper on Asymptomatic Shedding at www.herpes.org ). Researchers have shown that viral shedding of herpes virus occurs very often from the genitals of the infected partner even when the infected partner has no symptoms: In some cases over 80% of the time. This means that an infected partner can transmit herpes to the uninfected partner even when no symptoms are present.

Best way to find out is from the doctor exactly what it is, but my best guess would be genital herpes.  In any case you should refrain from any sexual activity for your sake and "others" until you find out what it is and how to handle it from a medical professional.
