If these are Herpes then I am so confused!

Hello Friends!

I have been dealing with on and off thrush practically all year (lucky me!) and these lumps have been around the opening of my vagina for AT LEAST the last 4 months (what is time this year really?!) - I have read on so so so many posts that Herpes wouldn’t stay this long before they turn into ulcers and blister over BUT has anyone had anything like this? I do have to pull the labia back a lot in order to really see them, without pulling the skin they are not noticeable AND I have fordyce spots other area, they are just not as noticeable or raised. They do not hurt when touched, no burning when urinating or anything like that BUT due to the thrush I have had localised itching and burning in the area…making the area red and sore…which in turn makes me touch the area more…its a lose lose situation…I do admit I OBSESS over the area which is a dangerous thing to do…noticing every lump and bump…

They do look like fordyce spots from what I have seen - - but has anyone ever had them infected or slightly raised? I have been tested for all STD’s except Herpes and HPV as I have had no “bumps of lumps” except this. You can see in the picture it is mainly the one in the middle that is more raised then the others that concerns me - this one I can feel where as my other fordyce spots are not able to be felt…

Hope to hear back! Also it is a hard spot to photograph, apologies but the flash is on in all photos as without the flash they cannot be seen.
