fear of herpes could this have just came from severe yeast infection?? plz help

So here's the issue, this psst week about last Sunday I noticed a yeast infection coming along! Because I had a sinus infection I used penicillin and a combination of other drugs! So I tried putting apple cider vinegar in that area but forgot to dilute it and it burned like heck..the next morning I woke up to 2small pimple like blisters on the lip of my vagina. They didn't hurt just swelled and later that day they shrunk. I didn't have swollen glands or pain in this area. The next day it looked like a area of scrathed skin. The next day went to my Dr who examined me n said its definitely yeast. She was uncertain about the scar and said it could be herpes or from the yeast so she did a blood test to determine but the results wont be here for a week. IM VERY scared losing sleep and suffering from anxiety now I'm taking miconadale for the yeast infection and it has a area red with tiny bumps afraid this might be another outbreak I'm freaking out because before last week never had anything like this and my boyfriend is somewhat health conscious so I doubt if I got anything from him! I'm confused would a yeast infection ever cause this

Thanks grace. I'm hoping the results are negative. I haven't told my partner yet because I'm afraid! So I've been avoiding him. Until I get the results! Do you know how long it usually takes for blood results to come back if I went to the Dr Thursday? And do herpes generally cause pain because I don't feel any just a lil irritated in the genital area but I am taking a anti fungal cream

vinegar is an acid. You probably gave yourself a chemical burn from the sounds of things :(

odds are that neither you nor your partner have ever been tested for herpes before.  You getting herpes blood testing now wouldn't reflect a newly acquired infection so really your bf should also seek out a type specific herpes igg blood test while this is on your minds.
