Any ideas?

I am a 22 yo sexually active female. I have had severe to moderate itching on my labia minora. This has been occuring on and off the past three months or more (I can't remember). It's usually right after my period. Twice I have felt small, flat but raised oval-shaped areas on my buttocks (close to where my cheek meets my thigh or near where the two cheeks meet). I can't really see what they look like, but they don't seem to be filled with pus or fluid. A few months ago, the itching was so severe at night and after my showers. My labial lips would swell  up to at least twice their normal size... That has not happened again, but several times, when I scratch the part that itches, I look at my nails, and they're tinged with blood under them, so I bleed lightly when I scratch. I also notice that it itches near the prepuce of my clit. 

I'm concerned I might have herpes because of the bumps on my behind, but it might be a yeast infection because of the severe itching. Trich has occured to me, too, since I seem to produce a lot discharge randomly, but it's not really "frothy" or yellow-green. Normal color. Most of the time it has a normal, thin, runny consistency. Occasionally it's a little globular and mucous-y, but I think that's normal. 

I never had a high fever that normally comes with an inital herpes infection. Haven't been that sick in at least 2 years.

Another idea is a hormone imbalance. My hormones have always been wacky, which could make the skin down there dry, cracked, at itchy.

Idk. Any ideas or advice?
