vaginal ulcers???

I am 16 years old and have never had sex, but a few days ago I started to get a saw swollen vagina. At first I thought it was thrush so I treated it with diflucan, but a few days after it really started to sting so i took a really good look at my vagina and near the end of the opening on the outside layers of skin, I saw 3 sores that looked like ulcers(really red on the inside, white on the inside and really sensitive to touch). They really hurt and I have a gynacologist appointment and I am kind of scared that it will get worse. Help?

I went to the gynocologist today and they said that it was herpes and gave me herpes treatment also said that i could use mouth ulcer cream to sooth the pain. My mum freaked out when the doctor said I had Herpes and we are still a bit baffled as to why I have it. She said it was just like coldsores but on the opposite end. They took some swabs (very painfull) and sent them to be tested so hopefully they will be gone by the end of next week.

Thank you so much for your concern xx
