Does this look like herpes? *Pictures*

I've recently had unprotected sex with a guy I've been dating for 3 months and 2 days after I noticed these blisters. I will say during oral he was a little rough and was biting on that part where the blisters now are. They don't itch, I'm not in any pain. It's starting to sting some when rubbed against my underwear but other than that I feel normal. My OBGYN is on vacation so I won't be able to see her until next week about this. 

Note: The first photo is from Sunday October 22 when I first noticed it. The second photo is from Thursday October 26.

    It looks like they’re already starting to heal so you won’t be able to get them swabbed rn but you could do a blood test when your doctor gets back or go to a clinic for your results. Does it hurt bad? And also ask your boyfriend if he has had any symptoms

      I can kinda tell from the pics but not really, were the bumps on top of ur skin or did they start from under ur skin? You know what I mean? Like did they feel like pimples or cysts or did they just appear on the surface?

      They were on top of the skin. And I would say they felt like pimples. They just appeared on the surface

    Have you been able to get an appointment with your gyno. I don’t want you to worry but it’s better to know than to not know

      Yes, I’m going Tuesday but I’ve been on google so much doing research I’m believing it’s herpes and I’m terrified.

    Yeah but don’t psych yourself out, you will be fine. It’s very common and I’m glad you’re taking the right steps in finding out your status. I hope everything goes well. The first outbreak is the worst and you said it didn’t hurt much so any future outbreaks probably will be not even half as bad

    They do look rather like herpes blisters/sores. A swab would have confirmed it, but that's too late now. You can do the IgG test at 3 months. Who bites during oral sex, by the way? Ouch! That could have created microabrasions allowing easier access for viruses, etc.
