Hello... I’m really concerned about the itchiness and bumps on my vagina... I had sexual intercourse with somebody 4 days ago and I started feeling these symptoms 2 days ago... I’m not sure if it is the person who I’ve slept with because we used protection but of course something can always go wrong. I had unprotected sexual intercourse about 2 weeks ago with a different person as well. It looks like little yellow pimples and white sores as well. I’m very itchy and it kind of burns when I pee. I have never had a yeast infection so I went out and bought the ointment to treat it and I’m on my second day of using it. I have felt much better and not so itchy but the bumps are still there. I have my appointment in 2 days but I’m just so anxious to find out what I have and I can’t seem to get my mind off of it. I have researched my symptoms and I’m so scared the results will come back in saying I have either Herpes or Genital Warts.

You'd need to get tested, but those symptoms don't sound good. Herpes would be a lot more likely than warts, but you may not have any STI at all. If you have caught something, it's more likely to have come from the person you slept with two weeks ago btw.
You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

If it's herpes (and it may well not be any STI at all), then these links may be useful, though the second one is written for doctors:
https://patient.info/health/sexually-transmitted-infections-leaflet/genital-herpes
https://patient.info/doctor/genital-herpes-simplex
and also the genital herpes forum here:
https://patient.info/forums/discuss/browse/genital-herpes-simplex-979
It might be nothing to worry about at all though, and as Abby said, it wouldn't be the end of the world even if it does turns out to be herpes. The CDC "estimates that, annually, 776,000 people in the United States get new (genital) herpes infections" (that's over 2,100 per day, with the rate being twice as high in women than men), and life goes on.

Thanks for the update. It does still count as genital herpes I'm afraid, but if it's with the HSV-1 virus, it's nowhere near as bad as being infected with the HSV-2 virus. Around half of people with genital herpes caused by HSV-1 only ever have one episode, and even if it recurs, further recurrences are a lot less frequent than with the HSV-2 virus.
