Is this herpes?

I had protected sex almost 2 weeks ago. I have pnuemonia currently and was prescribed an antibiotic I am very prone to yeast infections and always get them when taking antibiotics. I am having typical yeast infection symptoms; discharge, itchy, burning while peeing. I noticed these white ulcers(?), bumps(?) today; I've been taking my antibiotic for 6 days now.

My last partner used a condom both times we've had sex and didn't mention to me anything about herpes. I read online that yeast infections can cause bumps/sores. What do you think? Please help, thank you!image

    have you had any un-protected sex at all in the past before this guy ? things can stay dormant for months or even years before they can show

    to me it does look like herpes. my guess is that it surfaced because your immune system is low. best of luck waiting on the test results
