Herpes folliculitis or a pimple?

Almost a week ago while using the bathroom I noticed along the hair line of my labia majora where the um "crease" is there was a a bump. It was only tender to touch but it wasnt red or anything. It wasn't like a pimple so i thought it was an ingrown hair but i couldn't see a hair it wasn't popped and there wasn't really any white head just a faint white. So I left it alone but knowing it was there I kept going to look at it. Well impatient as I am I poked at it with a need to get the hair out, needless to say it hurt to poke and their was no hair. So ii squeezed and like a pimple at first nothing came out then blood with a little clear liquid and a little pus came out but nothing really. So ii cleaned it up and went to bed. I woke up a few hours later and checked it and noticed a little pus bubble sitting on top and just wiped it off and nothing was there. I've had an ingrown do something similar like that but after ii plucked the hair it went away. It didn't scabb and i left it alone for a day or two and it just looks like raised skin. Not a little circle but like an oval shape. I'm paranoid i might've caught something so naturally I look up online what it could be and it just added to my paranoia of herpes or folliculitis. I have an appointment in a week but I've been waiting too long. It scares me and I'm putting my life on hold because of it. (side note I checked it right now just to see if there's a difference today and the swell is down but it looks like a greyish circle where the swelling was and were the blood etc would come out is just a light white mark. Ive been sick with what ii think was a cold but ii heard a flu and fatigue were herpes symptoms so I'm afraid i might have it) please help

If you still have symptoms, you should be seen right away. Next week will be too late to get a swab or something like that.

A bump in the vagina might be herpes, but it can also be a number of things. Do you have a regular partner?

Have you ever been tested for herpes?

Ya I do. But we had taken some time apart and dated other people an eventually came back to eachother. It doesnt look like a wound or a cluster or anything. Just a mark from where I poked it and slightly bruised i guess I can say. And yes I've been tested before.
Does it need to be swabbed to
Find out what it is?

The swab from a lesion is the best way, since you get a prompt answer.

You (and your partner) can get a type specific blood test for herpes (igG, not igM) now and check the results. But if this is a recent infection, blood tests take up to 3-4 months to become positive.

But it would be best to be seen by a doctor to learn if your symptoms look herpetic or not. As I said above, this can be a number of things.
