Herpes or yeast infection??

I had unprotected sex with my new boyfriend on Monday ( this isn't the first time we've had sex with each other). I did feel dry when he penetrated in the morning but we kept going.

On Tuesday i noticed what seems to be a single sore near the entrance of my vagina ( pic attached) image

I noticed it on Tuesday after i felt an itch. I scratched it in my sleep and woke up to inspect. I had very white watery discharge no odour. Then i came on my period..

It did not and still doesn't hurt/burn when i pee nor does it really cause me alot of discomfort. There is a slight itch but it's not persistent or uncomfortable. On Thursday, i went to the clinic to have it swabbed. The nurse couldn't conclude on whether it was genital herpes or a yeast infection so she did a swab for both. Right now its Sunday and it seems to be clearing up but i noticed a tear so perhaps i tore during sex because it was dry?image

I am consumed with the anxiety as i await the results- i should get them on Thursday. Has anyone had similar? does it look like herpes? or yeast infection?

      Thanks for your reply.

      update : it still doesn't hurt to pee but it does stings when i wipe. Can herpes cause an odor? i noticed an odor for the first time yesterday.
