Concerned if it's a friction burn or herpes

This is really freaking freaking me out!!! I have a boyfriend and we've been together for almost 3 years now. He is the only One i ever had sex with for the past three years. It is really weird because recently we went for a vacation and we had sex non-stop!! One time, he went inside me and he was wearing condom while I was really dry. I knew after that moment, something was tingling inside me. We had more sex after that that was unprotected. After the vacation, I noticed that everytime I pee, it is really burning and hurting the hell out of me. I checked it in the mirror and notice there was like friction-like wound in both left and right part of the inner labias (looked like scabs/chaffed skin) and then what bothers me is that I got some 3-4 bumps at the left part of my inner labia, they're very close to the wound that look like it was chaffed. It is really freaking the hell out of me! What is weird is that, for how many year we've been doing this.. This is the first time that has ever happened to me!! My partner seems fine and doesn't have any symptoms like mine.

So my question..
1) is this just a friction bump or herpes?? I don't wanna think it is herpes because I am quite positive both of us are clean!!
2) what are the remedies I can do to keep these bumps less painful? Right now it is just soo bothering! :'(

Thank u and answers are much appreciated!

I haven't got myself checked for the past few days since I've been very busy. I am scheduling for check up tomorrow. So the thing is, the pimple like thing are spreading all througout my genital area. I am thinking this is herpes... I just wanna think about the worst since day by day, it has gotten worst. I have questions on how, why, when.... The only thing I can think is that my boyfriend got a cold sore last winter... He said he usually get cold sores now and then most especially during winter time.. He didn't kiss me but he did kiss my down under at that time... Is it possible to get genital herpes by cold sores?? That is the only possible reason I could think that might trigger this symptoms I am having.

And another thing.... Since I am already ready for the worst about my tomorrow's check up and assuming myself that this must be herpes.... I am really havin a terrible day urinating. It is buring so bad!!! :'( i am thinking I might get UTI for holding my urine for so long!! I couldn't pee, everything is just burning underneath me!! I could cry with just one little urine I expel!! :'((( any tips how to lessen this?? It is driving me nuts!!

And thank u again for taking time to read this!

I think it's a friction issue but you may also have a urinary tract infection unrelated to a sexuallly transmitted disease.  you need to get your urine tested and take an antibiotic if you have one.  Don't let them give you Cipro.  Get something milder like Keflex or amoxicillin.  Cipro causes long-term issues.  Just tell them you're allergic to Cipro.  Makes you vomit or break out.  Do not take it.
