Maybe herpes?? This is graphic.

I'm going to be somewhat blunt so I'll try not to gross you all out.
My period ended about a week ago, and 6 days ago I had unprotected sex. (I almost always use a condom, but that was the only time) I'm not on birth control because my mom refuses. I took the morning after pill 1 day later and felt a little sick that night. Felt fine until today- I randomly started bleeding (and this is almost 5 days later) and it was a dark dark color too. Is this abnormal bleeding just from the morning after pill or should i be worried? Also, here comes the weird part.
I've had 2 partners in my whole life and I've always used a condom except the last time and this morning (before I noticed the bleeding), I felt a bump right next to my bumhole. I've never had anal sex so I dont understand how I got it. It's somewhat painful. Is this considered herpes? Should I just go get it checked out if it doesnt go away?

Birth control is your choice not your mum's. And condoms won't necessarily prevent the spread of herpes.
They abide by patient confidentiality so don't worry about mother finding out. (long as you're not silly enough to leave them lying around)
Thesite can't look at yer bum and tell you whats wrong, you know your body better than anyone so if it feels/looks dodgy get it checked out.
20 years old.
Alberta, Canada.
Living with my parents, they have very strict rules that I have to obey or I get kicked out. I'm in the process of saving enough to buy my apartment and get work done on my car, so that's why I live with my parents at this age when most 20 years old arent at home. I'm sorry, but I dont know much about birth control.... We have planned parenthoods around here but I don't really know what to expect. You have to have a physical first to get birth control, right?
You are 20 years old and still follow what your mum says? Including things like birth control?
If I were you I would seriously think about going on some sort of birth control if this sex wasn't just a one off.
Secondly, I do think that if you are worried about things you should go to your doctors. They will also be able to tell you all your options re birth control too.
It's hard for us to suggest what to do when you live in Canada, but if you are registered with a doctor or have a drop-in centre it's best to get down there for a check up.
Have a read through of some of TheSite's information - these links should help:
Contraception
Visinting a GUM clinic (obviously this is based on UK clinics, but should answer some of your questions still)
Genital herpes
Hope these help
