HELP FAST!! PLEASE!! Herpes

I have only had 2 sex partners ever. My first was in a relationship that started 6 years ago. The relationship only lasted 2 years.

Now I'm in a relationship with a man that I've been with for 4 years. We took a break a year ago and he slept with someone one time, but he used protection.

Two days ago, I went to use the restroom and when I wiped it hurt really bad. I looked in the mirror the next day, and I noticed a white bump. I told my boyfriend about it and he said he'd never had any symptoms of herpes, but to go get tested for peace of mind.

I went to the obgyn and told him about the bump on my vagina and BEFORE EVEN LOOKING at it he convinced me that I have herpes. I'm terrified because I feel like I haven't done anything wrong and I'm praying to God I don't have it. I thought I'd go to the doctor and he'd rule it out, but before he even looked he said that's probably what it was.

Can this come from something else? It's sensitive, but only when I wipe after peeing or when washing in the shower. Otherwise, I don't feel anything.

I also had a red dot show up on my chest on Christmas Eve, which was 27 days ago. It grew to be bigger and I went to the dermatologist and she gave me an anti-fungal cream and a steroid cream and said to use both. NOW yesterday, another red spot showed up on my chest and is about the size of a drop of water. Its red and had dry skin that I flaked off. Now it hurts.

DO I HAVE HERPES?!?! PLEASE SAY NO!!!! I can't let this affect my relationship. I would be terrified if this happened to my partner, and it's happening to me! I want to be with this man the rest of my life. We plan on getting engaged soon and I can't stand it. He won't even kiss me until the test result comes in because he is being precautious. He hasn't been tested and said there's no need to if the test comes back negative for me. What do I do?

your partner should also cover their bases and seek out type specific herpes igg blood test for himself.  Odds are he's never been tested to know his status so while herpes is on your mind, get him tested so you know if you have to worry in the future or not.

did your provider also do any testing for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally and such?

I had a culture done on what my doctor said he thought was herpes, and it came back negative!! Thank God. The culture was done in the first 24 hours of showing up as well. I'm still waiting on the blood test. My partner has never showed any symptoms and hasn't been tested for anything.

What should I do?
If a culture comes back negative, that means I don't have it for sure... right?

Bumps could be anything and I am sorry we can't tell you what it is.  If your doctor didn't look or do anyt testing that is a extremely bad doctor.  If this was genital herpes you wouldn't get it on the chest.

Your partner needs to be tested regardless to know what he has.  Just because he never had symptoms doesn't mean he doesn't have it.  In a study 80% of people who tested postive said they didn't have herpes.  Once told all the symptoms they admitted to having it.  

What testing was done?  Where you checked for vaginal bacterial / yeast infections?
