Is this herpes?

2 weeks ago I was having a lot of discharge and pain when urinating. At first a thought it was an UTI, and these symptoms passed after a few days, but suddenly I started feeling a itching sensation on the labia and decided to take a look using a mirror. I found a small area with a funny texture in one of the inner sides of the labia... I tried to look for something similar online but couldn't find anything. I have been dating someone lately, coincidentally I started to feel these symptoms a few days after we had relations, so I am suspecting it might be herpes or other STI? what do you think? image

      Did you feel it tingly when it first appeared? And did it go away or it just stay as is forever?

      I will be getting tested on Monday anyway just to make sure, but I'll be able to sleep at night until then! lol

      mine went away. i dont have hpv and i dont have genital herpes. but i didnt experience tingling so you'll probably wanna go get tested. tingling is a sign of a herpes outbreak
