Is this Herpes?

So this year has been the worst year in terms of sex for me. I was false tested for syphillis and by having that diagnosis, I've been paranoid. Although it was a false positive, it made me scared of sex.

Anyway I had sex with a new guy( no oral) with a condom and the next day I went to a hot tub for a couple of hours and broke out in hives between my thighs. This made my thigh area very itchy, the next day I went to the gyn. She only found thrush and said my bumps were not herpes. Then I got a call from the gyn and was told it was BV and a yeast infection. I didn't have any fish odour so this was weird to me. I only took the medication for the yeast, since I didn't have time pick up the doxycycline for the BV. 

Then I had sex with my ex ( with a condom and no oral). After sex, I fell asleep and did not shower until the next day. However my thighs were itchy.

Is that sign of genital herpes

    Sounds weird but herpes does supposed to cause discomfort in your thigh you should get tested again, lots of people on here that has found out they were posituve foud out on their 3rd test so to be safe you should get tested again just to be sure because you've mentioned 3 diagnosis its means something

      I never had any Std. I've had BV before and yeast infection as well. They did a culture test and found BV.

    None of this sounds like herpes. Hives and herpes are unrelated.

      Thank you and the itchiness is everywhere. It's just also on my thighs when I have sex for some reason.

      Still doesn't sound like herpes. No idea what is causing you to itch, though.

      I went to the doctor and found out suffer from severe dry skin I forgot the name of the condition. I had hives in my thighs because I went to a hot tub for hours and that irritated my skin. I just have to stop using scented products and take Zyrtec

      Thought it must be another condition, not herpes. Probably dermatitis or eczema. Those are common dry, sensitive skin conditions.
