Does this look like herpes?

I'm having some pain and itching. Some white discharge but not a ton. The same thing happened a few months ago and it cleared up without scabbing or crusting.

im ONLY asking about the white part on top. those skin colored bumps/phalanges are vestibular papillamos and are harmless.

I noticed that both times, symptoms started the morning after I had sex with my boyfriend.

    Doesn't look like herpes, it's probably fungal or bacterial, I would go to a doctor if you haven't, if its healed up before your appointment, show them these pictures.

      Thanks for replying! Would you mind taking a look at one more awkwardly zoomed in picture of my vagina? lol.

      That white filmy part went away overnight but there appear to be some spots/sores left, which makes me nervous. It feels much better than yesterday and they are more uncomfortable and itchy than painful. Touching them did not really hurt like it did yesterday, but one started bleeding. Can a bacterial/fungal infection leave behind irritation like this or does it look like herpes now?

      i couldnt get into the doctor for 2 more days and its hard to think of anything else. Any opinions are much appreciated.
