Am I Paranoid?

On February 25, 2010, I had unprotected sex with a friend who I did not know his sexual history. I went on vacation from March 9-March 15, and around Thursday, March 11th (about two weeks after the unprotected sex), I experienced white pimples between my labia majora and minora. I popped them thinking that they were just the regular pimples I get every once in a while, and white/yellow pus came out.  Nothing itched or burned, but it scared me to death. This week, I shaved down there, and it began to itch (which also scared me), and today I experienced a white headed pimple in the same area but on a different side that I popped.  (I know I'm not supposed to do that)...same thing happened before with the white/yellow pus.  Now, like i said before,  before having sex with this person, I experienced vaginal itching and pimples on an occasional basis and then I was STD free (I was recently checked in January 2010 and had nothing). I don't feel any pain at all, and there is no redness and just white pimple-looking bumps. I'm scared out of my life and very nervous. I'm hoping I don't have herpes, and I'm just paranoid. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you!

At this point you need to go and be seen and get a proper work up done. get your vaginal secretions tested for  yeast and bacterial infections too. you've already popped everything so you can't get herpes lesion cultures done but this sounds more like a bacterial skin infection than anything from yoru description.

don't shave again until everything has healed and toss the razor you last used since it's probably contaminated too now.

You can get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia now but all other std testing needs to wait.

If it is herpes, don't pop it as this would cause it to spread violently. It could still be pimples, but in the end getting tested is the easiest way to be sure.
