Is this Herpes? Help!

About 3 weeks ago, I started off itchy, especially around the clitoris. Then it shifted, and sometimes the area around it feels raw, scratchy, tingly, and numbish. There's no smell or discharge, and I wouldn't say there's pain. It started toward the end of my period, and at first I thought it was due to friction against the pad. Most of the feelings have only been there a few days, and it's much better today. It worsened on Tuesday, but lessened soon after. I feel scratchy along the hair, and warmer inside. Sometimes, I feel like I need to urinate when I don't. I had a test done, no UTI or yeast/bacteria. I've heard you can have a Herpes outbreak without sores. I had oral sex once, 7 months ago and she got a cold sore the next week. I had some weirdness, but not to this degree in April. I've changed my underwear as of yesterday from nylon to cotton, but I still feel weird.

Itchy and sore match, and I've heard that you can have an outbreak with no sores. And I've heard that it can be transferred from person to person if no sores are visible. I've been using Vagisil, and it helps. It's been hard to get in to see a gynecologist. I had an appointment, but they had to reschedule it. Plus, my primary tested me for bacterial/yeast/UTI, and that came back negative. My brain is going to explode with more waiting. I am never having sex again. That way, if I feel like this, I know what it won't be.

Hi, none of  what you mention would be indicative of herpes but more a reaction to your period, either fungal or bacterial
