Do these healing blisters look like herpes?

I have been for a swab test on these blisters and I’m waiting on the results. They started to appear on Tuesday, though I did feel a friction burn during sex in that area on Monday, so firstly assumed that was the cause. However I wasn’t sure due to blisters appearing on Tuesday, could they be herpes?

    Well yes It could be, it's hard to say but yes.

    You weren't effected during sexe though, 'Cause your symptoms appeared at this moment (take 2-12 days to the virus to appear)

    How bad is your blisters now? Do you have a photo?

    Sorry I wasn't able to attach a photo while on my phone. I feel there's been too many coincidences in my symptoms and that my girlfriend possibly had some symptoms of herpes last year. I have suffered with Sciatic pain from the 7th and it seems to have stopped, and the blisters/rash came up well i'd say Tuesday but it may have been Monday night. We had sex on the Monday morning and I felt friction from her underwear which she hadn't taken off.

      It looks like herpes... Just to be sure you should go see a doctor for a swab test.

      Thanks, yeah I thought the symptoms seemed about right. Although I’ve had no pain or discomfort from the blisters, just when the scabs crack after showering.
