Herpes or infected vaginal tear?

Sexual health
1

I had sex with a new partner 4 days ago using a condom and experienced some pain whilst having sex probably due to there not being enough lubrication and general dryness. A day later I noticed a bit of itchiness below my vulva but that’s it. 2 days later I noticed some small sores that kind of look like herpes but from the research ive done they dont look like blisters/ulcers and i don’t think they ever started as pimples either but there is still a feeling of itchiness.

I’ve had a past herpes scare where i developed a sore that looked similar after dry/painful sex but it was a bigger one in the same area. I got tested for herpes for that and it came back negative so i’m not sure if this time it is also just a sore or actual herpes!

I’m in a similar situation however mine is a-lot worse, my spots appeared on Monday i went to the clinic on Tuesday and the doctor said shes 90% sure its herpes it’ll take about one week to results back. Ive honestly never been in so much pain in my life ive been put on codine today to help but its still awful. All the spots are oozing now its just horrific. everytime i go to the toilet i scream its so painful.

sorry to say but from your photos its definitely looks like herpes. i hope you dont have a bad experience like me
