    Unfortunately it seems herpes. 

    You should see a doctor ASAP. 

    You never had unprotected oral, anal or vaginal sex even long time before???

      There are 2 probabilities

      First that you got herpes type 1 from unprotected oral sex and it is rare and it can appear after long time   

      Second that you got herpes type 2 even if you use condom through vaginal transfer. Condom as you know is not 100 % protective. 

      Blood test can tell if you have type 1 or 2. Type 1 mostly from oral. Type 2 mostly from vaginal.

    OK I saw a skin doctor, THAT'S NOT HERPES THANKS GOD. The doctor said this is related to hormones and skin glands, something like that.

    This experience is a reminder for myself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
