Sore headless pimple near vagina turned into sore...What could it be?

I am a 21 year old, married female and I have occasionally gotten bumps when wearing certain menstrual pads, and my mom told me I was likely allergic to the brand and I haven't had much problems since switching. Then I noticed when a few days ago that the back of my left labia majus was red and a bit swollen. I thought maybe it was an engrown hair since I could feel what felt like a pimple under the skin, but there was no head. I tried squeezing it appeared that some clear stuff came out like in some facial pimples, and the swelling went down. Then today I noticed a burning feeling when I peed and discomfort when I was washing myself in the shower. I checked and it had turned into a tiny red rimmed sore. What is wrong with me? My husband is my only partner, has always been my only partner, and while he has a sexual past it isn't a graphic one, and he most definitely isn't cheating on me. Even when I was a teen virgin, anything "weird" down there made me instantly freak that somehow I had gotten an STD...I once as a preteen had a bad fever and then two huge blisters at the back of my labia majus. They went away, and other than the problems with menstrual pads and occasional gngrown hair or whatever I haven't had anymore issues till now...

P.S. The only other "sexual activity" I had was a one guy I dated before my husband and another that kinda forced himself on me when we were hanging out. Nothing ever went beyond kissing and some touching (fingering). The guy that forced himself on me I later found out was rumored to be a total manwhore and one girl I know said she had even heard he had STDs. Could I have gotten anything from when he fingered me and forced me to touch him?
