    im sorry to say but that looks like herpes, when i had my first out outbreak it looked similar to this. i just want you to know you'll be okay and the pain will pass as long as you take the medications. do you know how you may have contravted it, i got mine from oral

    this kind of looks like folliculitis but due to the ulcers also being on the vulva etc where hair doesnt grow, it could also be herpes

    did you get your results back? just remember if it is herpes, it will be ok, its just a health condition and can be easily controlled. people like jessica alba has it! it doesnt affect your life as much as you think it might
