Extremely confused and worried. Please read.

I will upload a picture if it's needed but I believe I can describe the symptoms just fine.

For the past several months I have been struggling with growths on my vulvar area and I'd like to know if it could be herpes. These bumps almost always appear on the same area: labia minora, and the area between labia majora and clitoral hood. They grow large, sometimes even the size of a pea, and are extremely painful. I usually get one at a time, or two. I am able to squeeze them when they reach their full size, and white-yellow fluid comes out. After that they disappear. They don't turn into ulcers and don't itch, and even when they grow on my labia minora I can pee just fine (it grows on the "outer" side of the lips). Well, a few days ago, I got one of these little devils again between labia majora and clitoral hood and I was able to pop it yesterday. A lot of white-yellow fluid came out and now it doesn't hurt. The problem is, now it looks like a small ulcer. I can't tell if it's just the area healing or it's herpes giving me hell. There are two smaller bumps around it but they look like pimples, and also don't hurt. I am not sexually active by the way, and don't remember ever having cold sores around my mouth. I'm still worried though cause you never know. All feedback is appreciated.

    if you are squeezing it and pus is coming out its not herpes. Sounds like you could be dealing with boils or cyst. I would get it looked at the next tkme it happens by a gyno and a dermotologist.
