hsv 2?

I had sex about 3 months ago for the first time, and it was only that time and we used a condom. A few weeks ago I got  what looked like an ingrown hair on my thigh it was a big bump and purple in the middle and i popped it and it left a scar. Then as soon as that one was gone I got the same thing on my labia majora, and eventually it went away but i still feel like there's something there. When that one was going away I got what looked like a pimple above my clitoral wall, and it lasted about 3 days and went away when the doctor put me on antibiotics, but she told me to get tested for herpes. I got tested last week, and haven't heard anything, I finally got the courage to shave again and the next day I got another bump on my labia minora that hurts when I walk, and I think I have the same bump around my anus because it hurts there too when I walk, but I don't feel an actual bump there. I'm not sure if it could be herpes, or if this could all be from shaving?

The symptoms are somewhat going away for the most part, but I am making an appointment because I believe it could be a yeast infection. Thank you for all your help though, Grace

Some bacterial infections clear up on their own but certainly if you have symptoms at this point again, they need treated.

Thank you so much,

and just one more question if you can answer for me.. If all the symptoms clear up from the bacterial infection, do I still need medication? Or can it go away on its own? I called planned parenthood today and my herpes results came back negative

It really doesn't sound like herpes going on.

Return to your provider and let them know that your symptoms were back again now that the antibiotics are done.

Okay, so I was also wondering, if it were herpes would I also get it in my mouth if I had oral sex with him without a condom? Honestly, after that first pimple went away I felt completely fine but after finishing those antibiotics I got those bumps that hurt, and then a day later everything started burning. I should hear from the clinic by tomorrow about my results from the hpv test. I'm also scheduling another visit because they didn't do a pap smear or anything last time I was diagnosed. The doctor just looked at the pimple and told me to get tested because it looked like herpes. Which was completely devastating because I only had sex once and we used protection. I also read somewhere that the antibiotics she prescribed me could actually cause a bacterial infection

Doesn't matter that you were on antibiotics - it still needs re-evaluated.  Sometimes the first course of antibiotics doesn't take care of things.

I was on antibiotics, and all was fine, except for that ingrown hair that I could still feel, As soon as I finished the prescription the new bumps appeared. Is it bacterial or could it be herpes? Does it take that long for herpes to start to appear? Because it was almost over 3 months before I actually got anything that the doctor considered herpes, and that one went away after I started the antibiotics she prescribed me. The bumps seemed to reappear a couple of days after I was done with my prescription.

If you are getting more bumps, you need to go back and be seen again. sounds like it's a bacterial infection that just isn't clearing up yet.
