Herpes Symptoms

I've had a oral sex encounter with a guy in January . 2 days after that I had a sore throat . Then I started to develop a small rash on my buttocks with one bump it scarred and went away but left a black mark. Then I started to feel unwell , tingling in legs and feet. I have a couple brown spots on my feet. My swollen glands in my neck were swollen for a while like 2 weeks I had a cough for about 2 weeks as well , diarrhea , stomach pains , headaches , achy body , a little itching all over body and face and 1 bump on my vagina ( but not to bad) , I went to go get checked out for syphilis and came back negative ( after 9 weeks) after I found out I didn't have it me and my current boyfriend have protected sex and unprotected oral sex then the same day my vagina got swollen and been swollen for 3 days , I kept rubbing it with ice and rags and notice a little blood on my vagina walls like they we're irritated. I no longer have flu like symptoms just itchy feet body and scalp .  My current boyfriend got checked for everything and it everything came back negative ( used condoms but always had unprotected oral sex) we have been together since Feb 22 I also have a white discharge or no painful urinating

1: Is this Herpes
2: can herpes just be one or two big bumps ?
3: Should I be worried ?
4: How long does it take for symptoms to come ( my first symptoms was 2-3 days after encounter)
5: Is it normal for your vagina walls to bleed if you rub it too much if its swollen

You must see IgG HSV1 and IgG HSV2 test results in order to be sure of a positive or negative herpes diagnosis.

You really must see a doctor to diagnose these symptoms, they certainly are not herpes related.

He got tested for all stds and came out negative for everything . And no its not lumps its like irritated skin and blood was on it . And my appointment is the 13th but I don't want to wait that long the anxiety is killing me. But is it to early to test for herpes if its only been 6 weeks ? The encounter I had was a little over 10 weeks ago  And I've also been having a hoarse voice this last past month . But no sore throat. Just spots on the back of my tounge.Is there anyway I can stop the swelling without prescription medicine ?

Perhaps to answer your questions.
1. Most likely not herpes. Your symptoms are mostly way too general to be even thinking herpes.
2. They're not lumpy bumps, they are often blisters inside a slightly raised patch. Lumps are often caused by fluids, pus etc. which is not herpes.
4. Herpes symptoms appear 2-10 days after mostly, average 4 days.
5. Can't comment but I would say so.

The testing that may be useful is IgG antibody testing type specific for HSV1 and HSV2. I'll wager your current boyfriend hasn't had this testing either!

Just to clarify, did you receive the oral sex to your vagina or the other way around, or both??
