Worried about an issue

Once my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex a few weeks ago. But now we use condoms. But lately after sex I feel irritated down there. And a few days ago while we were having sex he pulled out to tease me  and (still had condom on) when he put it back in it burned like no other and burned after I peed after sex. When I pee any other time it doesn't burn, only kindof feels irritated. He said I might be allergic to latex. I noticed a few bumps on the left inside. I am not sure if I had them before or not.  I don't know if they are normal or could be from the allergic reaction if I am allergic or they are something else. they are small like clear white/pink. they pretty much look the color of the rest of the skin around them just might be a little whiter near the top.
They don't hurt or itch or are even really hard. I looked up my symptoms to see what it could be. Read that its could be that my vagina is just irritated from the allergic reaction, or I have a yeast infection. But after talking with some friends they said it could possibly be herpes. I am going to the doctor in a week. But I am a HUGE worry wart so I just wanted to see what others have to say. And what they feel it could possibly be. To help ease my mind.

Thanks.

This sounds to me like it could be genital warts. I don't want to preach to you - but please realise that all it takes it one brief encounter to contract an std. If this is your first experience using latex condoms, it certainly could be an allergy but the fact that it is only on one side of your vagina is worrying.

Obviously we are not doctors, but you need to be prepared for the possibility that you have herpes or warts, and may have it for the rest of your life. We have all had careless moments in our past where we weren't as responsible as we should have been, but please use this experience to think more about the choices you make in the future.

It's good you are going to the Dr.
Yes, you could have a latex allergy. There are condoms that are non-latex that you could try and see if that makes a difference.
Have you tried to hold something with latex to see if you get a reaction? Like hold a balloon and see if you get irritated on your hands or arms.

I don't know anything about herpies. your Dr. will be able to tell you with that. good luck and hope you feel better.
