Help , is this herpes?

Posted , 3 users are following.

hey guys , im super nervous that this might be herpes. i had Bv two weeks ago and than just this satuday it started to burn when i had peed and there was inflamation which i thought was from Bv. i called my doctor on monday to make another appoinment prior to my Bv diagnosis and they had one two days later on wednesday. i had told them when i called monday i might have a uti because of the burning so they sent over medication for that and the burning stopped a day 1/2 later. on satuday i noticed two little red bumps by my vulva and than they had opened and now just looks like a red scars. (This may have no relation ) but on friday night i was going out and instead of normally waiting to get waxed i took my razer ( the one i used months prior because i waxed) and shaved down there. Now theres no coincidence that i tested positive for Bv. but can this be from BV or does this look like herpes ? my gyno swabed on wednesday to test for herpes but that will take a week for results. i feel like im going crazy. can anyone help ?
