it looks like herpes. If you can get back to your doctor or clinic soon have them swab the lesions. It could be something else but you will want to be sure.

If your having lot of pain in the area of the bumps not just the bumps themselves could be HSV.

Please try not to worry 😃
It is important to stay strong in yourself.
Outbreaks will usually occur if they are triggered i.e stress. If you are confident in yourself and educated about hsv you can give people the ins and outs. Most people don’t have a problem and have come across it and you’ll be surprised how many have it.
Feel free to message me. I understand how down you may be feeling right now 😃
It gets better I promise x
