It is best to get it checked by a doctor. If you are suspecting herpes you do not need to wait for a swap test if it is been on going for a year. You can request an IGG blood test for HSV1 and 2 .

It doesn't look like herpes and just getting it once a month in the same spot is weird for a herpes outbreak. It might be good to track when it happens every month and track what is going on during that time. Do you have pictures from previous months?

yeah it might not be exactly same spot but it is around that area. only other pic is this one
it does itch but assume that was because its sore skin 😦 its always around my period thought it was my tampons irritating the skin.

I don't think it looks like a outbreak. Maybe go to a clinic when it happens and get swabbed instead of waiting for your gp.
