Severe Yeast or herpes?

Okay, so my body has been severely out of whack the past few months. I had a herpes scare in aug.. small sores no blisters just opened sores. Negative type specific herpes blood test but severe yeast infection to the point the dr seen it growing inside my vag. But the sore worried her. She said to retest in 3 months. Sept I got preg.  I had one more small open sore in sept but it went away fairly quickly compared to the first time.. I found out I was preg when I went in after that.. oct 13 I had a miscarriage at 2 months. Bled for a about a week n a half... about a week and a half ago my boyfriend bought a new glycerin dial soap.. I shaved and washed down there with it.. immediately getting out of the shower my lady parts were on fire.. over the next few days I started itching like crazy. . I know I shouldn't have but I scratched and scratched. Next day I was still itchy but I was red and very swollen.. we had sex (bad again I know) and I was very dry which is very uncharacteristic for me. After sex I found two cuts in the right and left folds. They burned but werent horrible. I applied bactroban creme (neosporin on steroids basically that was leftover from a prescription) over the next few days I kept applying triple antibiotic creme.. but its made it worse! Now the fissures are longer, redder, whiteish inner appearance and they've multiplied. Theyre in almost every fold of my vag. Im still itchy red and swollen.. it hurts so bad to pee and they arent getting better.. help! Any advice would be appreciated. Doe this sound like herpes or a severe severe yeast infection caused by imbalance in my downtown region?  Ive had no other herpes like symptoms. They were open already. No blisters that ruptured. No clusters. No fever. No chills. Etc.. all I know is this crap hurts and its so frustrating.

Hi, if you tested negative during your pregnancy and your bf has been faithful, then your still negative.
Your symptoms really dont appear as herpes outbreaks as you mention the sores were on both sides and most often an outbreak is side specific.
You might want to have them swabbed for a culture to determine exactly what they are. With the shaving and sex irritations sounds like the whole area is inflamed. I would go back to the doctor and get the correct medications to have the area heal properly.
