HELP! Is this a herpes out break ?

for context i am someone that gets cold sores and i take lysine every other day to help surpress it and its been working i havent had a cold sore since my second ever out break. i have a partner who is aware and accepts me, recently hes been persistently asking for oral and i caved and we had regular sex after. some days after i noticed a cluster of small rashes all over the edge of his glans and he also mentioned having an ingrown/ pimple. not too long after i also had a cluster of small rashes all over the inside and edges of my vaginal opening. this is what it looks like 12 days after, ive also started having light white discharge like in the 2nd pic and dull pain when peeing. i'm scared i might have given us ghsv1 but neither of our out breaks look similar to the typical herpes pictures ive seen online. i know the only way to know for sure is to get them swabbed and i'm working on an appointment but any input in the meantime would be much appreciated.

    i dont see anything that looks like herpes. Youre probably just stressing. Your boyfriend also probably has Hsv1 which will make it nearly impossible to get again in a different location.

      that's something i really want to be certain about. I ve had what i think is cold sores in my lips since i was a kid but yet i think i caught genital hsv1 lately. are you sure that if you have it in one place you cant get it elsewhere?
