Do you think this is Herpes or just a bacterial infection?

Okay so I had this one bump on my labia that was the size of a pimple and it was very hard. It had no redness or whiteness to it, it was the color of my skin. It lasted for about maybe a week and a half. The next day after it disappeared, my labia tripled in size on both sides and got white cirlces on them. It is VERY sore to the touch and It burns to pee(so I'm guessing these sores are open). The opening of my vagina is blocked due to the growth of my labia.
It is VERY painful to walk or sit down. I went to the doctors and when she saw it she automatically said it was herpes. She took a couple of samples so I am awaiting the results. I'm wondering if this could just be something other than herpes, such as an allergic reaction or bacterial infection. I am 17 years old and I'm not sexually active nor have I ever been. I was molested last summer (June 2010) summer by a man who said his girlfriend has herpes. I don't want to believe it's herpes because I didn't show any symptoms or have an outbreak within the first 20 days .
I do shave and I put Johnson and Johnson Aloe Baby Oil Gel to smooth it and prevent itch.
PLEASE HELP ME!

It's really doubtful that this is herpes going on.  If you had contracted genital herpes from the oral sex last year, odds are you would've had symptoms around that time, not now.

stop back and let us know what your test results show :)

thank you for providing me with the additional info, I know it's not always easy to talk about what happened.

he did perform oral and no I am still a virgin so I guess I wasn't easy for him to penetrate. He only got inside of me a little bit.

I know this isn't easy for you to do but could you give a brief description of the contact you had with this man?  did he perform oral on you, did he have sex with you?

Yeah they tested for infections vaginally. I still haven't gotten results back. And it hurts SOOOOOOO bad to pee. I almost want to stop drinking liquids just so I don't have to go to the bathroom. And yeah I am not sexually active but I was molested by a man who might have herpes. =/

herpes will not present as a hard lump.  

Your swelling issues could be herpes but considering that you aren't sexually active it's not likely this is herpes. did they also do any testing for infections vaginally too?

are you able to urinate ok with all of this?
