Please help, could this be HSV?

Im going to try to make this short by just quickly mentioning all the details i believe are important.

i had sex with my boyfriend for the first time around 4 weeks ago. it was unprotected. two nights ago i had some sudden itching down there - particularly at the entrance of my vagina on both sides. i itched it and the next morning the itching was completely gone, however i decided to take a look and saw that down there was swollen and red and there were these little bumps near my vaginal entrance.

since then, the swelling and redness has gone down substantially but the bumps are still there. i have no pain, itching or burning sensations, as well as no pain when i urinate. really i have no symptoms apart from the bumps. i tried squeezing them (dumb if its actually herpes, i know) to see if anything would come out because i saw on the internet that herpes blisters tend to ooze clear fluid. nothing came out however, i know every case can be different.

i struggle with chronic yeast infections but this is the first time im seeing anything like this to my knowledge and im really scared. ive been losing sleep ever since the discovery and due to circumstances beyond my control, im unable to see a doctor until around friday/saturday. i just want to know if this seems like herpes or not, mostly to give myself peace of mind and/or prepare myself for the outcome of my doctors appointment. i know its super common and not the end of the world but being in this limbo of not knowing whats going on with my body is driving me insane.
