Sore/blisters around vagina - HELP *picture*

I have painful blister-like sores around my vagina on a couple on my vaginal lips and I'm wondering a. how I can ease the pain/get rid of them and b. what they are. 

Just to give a background on the last few weeks: I got a particularly back strain of tonsillitis a few weeks ago and was put on very strong antibiotics to clear it. After this I had a slight itch and touch of thrush which cleared up after taking a dose of pro-biotics. A week after the itch I shaved all my pubic hair, I stupidly didn't trim the hair before I did that. I had sex with my boyfriend after this, he's the only person I've been having sex with for 6 months and vice versa. I have experienced pain after having sex with him and some skin tears due to his and my size (he's quite large and I'm apparently smaller than average). I then got my period this week and started to feel irritation which was mild at first like usual grow-back irritation after shaving and then it progressed to quite irritant and painful - I'm assuming the pads I was using didn't help matters. To ease the irritation I was using an antiseptic cream which would typically be used for nappy rash. 

When my period was done I examined myself and felt small bumps, first they were under the skin and are now over the skin and blister-like and some have popped and seeped. My vaginal lips are quite dry and there are a couple of pimple-like bumps on them which are quite painful. I soaked in a warm bath last night with a couple of drops of tea-tree oil, some baking soda and some E45 dermatological emollient bath oil and this seemed to help. When I woke up this morning the pain had eased slightly but the sores which had popped were crusted over with a yellow pus. I cleared this and the pus has not returned, but they are still painful. The pain seems to mostly be coming from the hairs that are growing back in the area irritating the sores. I have been using E45 dermatological (and alternately Salvon antiseptic) cream to ease the itching and give me some relief.   

Basically, I'm looking for suggestions on how to ease this pain and clear the sores up. If anyone has had a similar issue and knows exactly what this is help would be greatly appreciated. From examining myself and researching STIs/STDs online it does not resemble anything I've seen but if anyone has a suggestion they are more than welcome!

    I am actually having a similar issue right now and just got my results back. Mine isn't herpes. But I'm told it could be bacterial vaginosis.

    Hi did you ever get any results ? Im having the same issue. Ive been with 1 person for 7 months I got tested for all stds and herpes was included. Everything came back normal. I hadn't had sex in a few months and I had sex with a new guy he was really rough and I was dry. We used a condom then took it off at the very end for a couple minutes because I was too dry it was hurting. I was sore afterwards I just thought it was from me being so dry and my skin tore. But now I have what looks like open blisters and they hurt soooo bad

      I did. I got tested and I have no stds. She told me it didn't look like an std. I still don't know what it is, I'm waiting to see my ob/gyn next week for an appointment. But she said it could be a number of things from bacteria, to a cist. I only had one. But she gave me some stuff to numb it and being that it's on the Labia it'll take a while to heal because that area is really moist. It could be a number of things. But if you have multiple ones, definitely go visit a doctor! But don't stress out yet. Just go get checked.

    Hiya,

    I have these blister type things around my vagina and at first I thought it was thrush as I've had it before so I brought some canestin cream as my symptoms were really bad. I could pass urine as it would make me cry because of the severe pain, it was itchy and burning... it's proper made me down...I was using that cream and everything got a little better, that itch has eased off and so has the pain when I wee but it still stings a little... so I was thinking it was going and I'm gonna be fine but then I have found some blister type things on my bum cheek... I've only had sex with two people... my ex who we both was each other's first and my current partner now but he don't have any of the symptoms like I do.... I need help I'm going to lose it soon.

    Hey.... I need help/advice I have a small lump on my outside of my vagina and I have had it on and off for about a month but it's only the last 2 times that is has been red raw and it's painful to wear underwear and to even walk or sit.

    I am using a thrush cream on it and it seems to make it numb for about 6 hours and comes back worse then before.

    I haven't had sex in almost 7 months and I don't have a history of sti I get checked after every sexual partner. But I'm starting to think somthing is up? I don't know how to post photos otherwise I would.

    Hello guys, I've got a question to ask and I'm just hoping someone on here can help..

    I have 3 bumps on my vagina BUT they aren't sore, they aren't open, they aren't itchy and they're not sore, they DONT look like warts or herpes but I'm wondering if this could be ingrown hairs or something silly like that? And do you think it's worth a visit to my GP?
