these pictures were taken with one day difference. is it herpes? i've had oral herpes years ago, but this is the first time i've got this in my genitals. doctor said it might be a rash for a yeast infection and the swab turned out negative, can it be accurate? i am freaking out and i think the swab was a false negative. it was really painful for one day, the next day it got tolerable and on the third i have basically nothing. help!

    i don't think that's the case because the appearance has changed as days went by.

    this was the first day around two weeks ago
