Is this genital herpes or something else?

so this part of my vulva sometimes gets itchy (this has been the case before I was even sexually active). so much so that I couldn't stop myself from itching it. now it is swollen and red. I have been very scared that it could be mild herpes . what do you think? I will go to the doctor I just need advice in the meantime. !

I honestly don’t think it’s herpes, I am not a professional but it just looks irritated. I think you might have a bacterial infection if your itchy.
