    If you had genital herpes you would probably be complaining of blisters and sores on and in the vulva and vagina.

    This sounds more like Bullous Impetigo which should clear up on its own,and disappear on its own. Keep the areas clean and dry.

    If it becomes really difficult to live with,and is still bothering you after eg 2 weeks, or spreads, then you will need help from your doctor. It can be spread quite easily so keep your hands very clean, and stay away from babies and anybody who is susceptible to infection. Dont share towels or flannels. You can pass this on to a sexual partner but it is not classified as an STI as it can be picked up in other ways.

    You might like also to attend an STD clinic to get their opinion.
