    i dont think so. its more than likely a bad bacterial or yeast infection. i had a really bad bacterial infection a few weeks back and it made me really itchy and also swollen! just wait for your results. i dont think it looks like herpes.

      The redness and irritation is from scratching! i had scratch marks down there from mine which kinda looks like what you have going on. herpes is open sores / blisters...yours looks nothing like that. hope this helps! 😃
