Hi, I'm sorry, it does look like herpes. You should get it swabbed to confirm.

I had a sexual contact with a boy 2 weeks ago, but we only masturbated. Is it possible that I got herpes from masturbation? I think he used his saliva as lubricant.
Also, he did nos

Also, he did not have any blister in his mouth. Because if he had hsv1 I would have also infected my mouth right? (we kissed)

Not necessarily but you need skin to skin contact. Sores can sometimes be mistaken with yeast. What are you other symptoms? Pain, itching?

our genitals did not touch, but hands/fingers yes.
only itching when I or my underwear touches it. Also, I've scratched. this is a pic of it without vaginal discharge.

I've added another picture, but it's waiting to be moderated. It is itching, and I have been scratching it for a week until I saw the sore. I do not feel pain, and it is not painful when I pee. Is it possible that it is just a sore from friction?

this is a tricky one. your first photo looks like herpes. you would only get herpes from the boy if his penis or mouth directly touched your genital area and he has HSV. if no genitals have ever touched yours, and you've never received oral sex, it's most likely not herpes.

Agreed. It can be mistaken with yeast sores, especially if it's been itching. You can try an antifungal treatment but in doubt, it's always better to be tested.

Please go and get it swabbed before it dries out. If that window passed get a IGG blood test for both HSV 1 &2 at the 3 month mark for the most accurate results.
