vagina
2 weeks ago after the end of my last period I've been breaking out in my vagina. There's these little bumps on the inside of my folds closer to my butthole. They don't blister or anything like that but it itches. I sometimes get a rash after I get my period but it usually goes away but this one seems to be getting worse. I'm scared and when I looked it up, it doesn't soumd like any of the symptoms of herpes. HELP!
P.S. I haven't been sexually active sonce the end of July and even after I had sex this has never happend
