two weeks ago I began experiencing mild itching in my vaginal area. I was allowing the hair to grow back after shaving and so did not feel concerned. Last week I had burning during urination in the area that was itching before. This, of course, raised a red flag for me. I checked myself and it seemed some of the hair follicles had pus under them. I had quite a few flat white dots, some of which were not hair follicles, and are visible in the photos I added.
After a shower today I felt intense burning. I had broken the skin while cleaning myself accidentally. I am concerned this may be herpes. I have an appointment scheduled soon, but would appreciate any insight anyone may have.
