not sure but angry vagina

[wendle73]

So a week ago I thought I nicked myself shaving.  That was Tuesday. Wednesday I was checking it out and had what looked like an ingrown hair on my labia. Then a new bump everyday Sunday I went to a clinic. The doctor said it didn't look like herpes.  These bumps were all mildly annoying but not what I would call painful or itchy.  She swabbed the area just to be sure but suspected it was folliculitis.  Prescribed oral antibiotics and fucidin cream.  I've been applying the cream three times daily.  This morning I woke up and I'm in a lot of pain and have alot of blister like sores.  The sores last week were small and not blistered looking.  I wonder if the cream has caused a reaction or did it just take this long for it to be a full blown out break? My boyfriend of 8 months is fine and has only had me and one other partner in 10 years.  I also came out of a long term relationship of 20 years.  The only indication off anything amiss was Saturday prior to the first bump he complained of his lip being sore but he had just eaten a lot of salt and vinegar chips and he doesn't normally so we assumed they irritated his mouth.  His lip doesn't look like he has a cold sore.  Should I go back to the doctor sooner or wait for my results?  I don't want to do anything to try and ease my discomfort as I don't want to anger the sensitive skin any further.

Yes, new infection on both sides, old infection only on one side. Old herpes is side specific in all cases.

Really, only on one side? Is that in all cases?  I have both the first sores and these new blisters on both sides.

Hi, yes go back to the doctor as no need to be in pain. If the new blisters are all around the area it would not be herpes from an old infection as would only be on one side.
