Already have HPV now Herpes too?!?

I have genital HPV and I was treating the warts using Aldara. Applied a lot of the cream Monday to the outside of lower labia minora. Wednesday the labia was hard, swollen and really sore. Friday the swelling was reduced and in it place were 2 sore lesions located just inside the labia.

I am now convinced it is herpes from looking at pictures online and reading the symptoms. I am also experiencing tingling down there too! I also have a decreased appetite although this could be from worry :-(

I am going to visit my doctor tomorrow just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this reaction and by some miracle it was NOT Herpes? *Wishful thinking*

Worried beyond belief at this stage :-(

Thanks for your feedback!

Doctor took a look this morning she said it didn't typically resemble a herpes sore. But she took a culture to get it tested anyways. She also took a sample for any bacterial infections.

She cannot guarantee that it is not herpes but she said for now to not jump to any conclusions until we get the rsults

The tingling is before the sores appear not during or after.  

You are doing the best thing you can do which is be seen.  They can do a culture if the bumps have been around less than 48hrs from when you have your doctor appointment for the best results.  

Bumps can be anything.
