Is this Herpes? PLEASE HELP...

i have debated on using something like this to ask questions but I won't find out an answer until tomorrow or Wednesday.... Even tho.. I think I already know the answer... I'm just hoping by Gods mercy I'm wrong... I've been married for almost 2 years now and I haven't had sex with anyone else for a little over 3 years as for me and my husband are very much I love and loyal to each other. When me and my husband got married we were stupid and didn't get test for STDs thinking we were fine for we never had any trouble with our parts. 2 years later(NOW) randomly out of no where at the very top of my girl parts right where the pubic hair stops growing(so not exactly on my women parts) I had what it felt like a mosquito bite (as I had just wore a skirt a couple days before at a park) I couldent stop itching it and it never hurt just was really itchy like a bug bit would be on your arm then I started getting VERY itchy all over, a little swollen, red, irritated and some burning cuz of the irritation. I've always been extra sensitive down there and have had a lot of yeast infection durning and after pregnancy about 8 months ago. I was constantly  scratching down there and it was constantly itchy but never in pain. I thought "ok, here we go again another yeast infection" so I didn't even bother to look since I deal with them all the time. I didn't even realize when it started but I had a long cut on my right lip on my girl part and that's the only thing that really hurt. I'm was thinking I might have scratched myself so hard in the middle of the night and not know it.. So when I felt that cut I looked down there and notice a lot of little red bumps down there (they look like chigger bites, but I never say in the grass) they were not in a cluster, they were in a line on the top of my girl part in my pubic hair line. They don't look like blisters and didn't hurt just itch. They would hurt when I used baby wipes tho really badly. I itched them constantly and I itched them so bad the red bumps opened and just like a bug bit they looked glossy clear liquidity stuff. So half of me thinks it's not herpes but the other half of me does. It's been almost 2-3 weeks since this has all been going. About maybe a week or less they did have kinda like scabish stuff on them and not even thinking it was herpes at the time I just would peel them off or scrach them off (never hurt) I went to the doc last week and told them to just check me for every STD out there (should have done that years ago, I know I'm stupid) she did tell me I didn't have a  bacterial infection but I did have a yeast infection she gave me a one time pill to take and since I've taken that pill the itchyness is mostly gone but that cut is still there and I'm still really red, some swollen and irritated with half the little red bumps. Now some bumps(like 3) are around the cut but they don't hurt and don't itch. It's the cut that's hurts. The cuts not scabing over either just not even really healing fast but healing like a normal cut. Idk what's going on I'm really scared I have herpes cuz I've never had bumps down there before... It feels just like a yeast infection but with some red bumps that only itch but don't hurt. Idk what's going on... I'm scared if I do have it and didn't know it what if I forgot to wash my hands and touched my daughter in the mouth?? I'm so scared... Idk what to do but to just be on my knees asking God for mercy... I need people who KNOW what they are talking about and not just nonsense talking! If you have any real advice please help cuz I'm driving myself crazy doing so much research and constantly thinking and worrying....

Red bumps in the area you describe could be so many things. Folicus for one. It could be a reaction to just about anything.
Please don't worry about your children. If it is hsv you won't pass it on to them. The extreme itching you describe is not usual for hsv at all. Itching occurs when the lesions are healing. Sounds more fungal than anything.

I do not suspect hsv. Most pregnant women are tested during pregnancy. Some of what you describe could be a sign of hsv like the cut which is common in women. However the extreme itching was most assuredly due to the yeast infection and phone imbalances in women can cause all sorts of things.
I am sorry your dealing with this. Your results should be in real soon. Call your Dr. Tomorrow as it only takes a few days to get results. Please let me know your results.
