Is this genital herpes or friction ulcer

basically this is 2nd time ive had this, i had it a year & half ago and it was 2 ulcer looking things on my vulva like the opening of my vagina, i had really heavy periods and had big pads on and i think it was caused by the irritation and rubbing off the pad to cause ulcer. i just left them and it went.
i now have 2 ulcer looking things again in same place, and i think its from having sex and being dry after a while, i think ive also got thrush. so ive been itching as couldnt resist and gone worse now. been sexual health clinic and they said it looks like herpes but also it could just be friction and where its been irritated by sex and itching they will ring in a week with results, it stings a bit when i wee as well but its bound too whether its herpes or friction. i have been with partner 3 years, i had a feeling he cheated first year but he denies it, but only ever had problems since then. i will insert picture. do you think genital herpes or friction sores???
neither of us have coldsores also ive been itching alot around side of clitoris i thought that took skin away

hi, Did the clinic do a full panel test for STI ? also was the test done by swab or blood ? IMO it resembles chlamydia, do you have abnormal
discharge since the ulcers appeared or developed it later until you feel like its a yeast infection now ? does it hurt to pee, Have abdominal pain ?
