Do I have herpes? Negative test

so long story short. 3 weeks ago these bumps appeared on my vagina the bikini spot it was a couple days after i had protected sex. they were just there no pain or anything noticed them while shaving. Went to the doctor cause i was worried, went he seen them he was confused on if they might be ingrown hairs or herpes so he did a swab. one of them at the time was an open sore and he swabbed it . that was last week. the bumps are still there but they are white and flaky like dry spots; also they get itchy. i got the results back and they were negative.. but i still have the bumps. So do i have herpes or not? totally confused
