Do I have herpes?

I have one bump beside my vagina, it started small and then became raised. It was itchy but I suspected it was an ingrown hair as I shave the area. I had sex with my boyfriend and the next day it was swollen and sore. I iced it for a bit and then it shrunk and it popped easily with a little puss and then blood. I don't know if it is a herpes or not because a few years ago my ex had cheated on me with someone who had herpes and I have been afraid I would get it ever since. Can herpes show up in a single bump or is it always multiple. I don't know if it is considered a blister or not as it is raised so I think it is but not sure. I am embarrassed to go to a doctor. Please let me know what you think.

did you and your partner follow up with full std testing that included type specific herpes igg blood testing 3 months after he had last had sex with someone else?

this sounds more like something non-herpes going on at this point. no more popping it and if it gets worse again, be seen for a proper exam.
