Herpes or no ?

Hi I've noticed this one little skin coloured bump on my boyfriends scrotum , it's not like a blister just a bump .. He's always scratching his balls but he said he's been doing that since he was a little boy . Like I said this is only one bump and its no where else but in that one spot on his scrotum he says it doesn't hurt . We haven't had sex for about 7 months due to me being pregnant , in the beginning of April I got this new shaver and used it down there . After acouple days I noticed itching , irritation and symptoms of a yeast infection from the shaver, it went away for awhile but now the itching is back . Now I'm noticing a little bump on my labia it's really itchy but it doesn't hurt , it's not like a blister either just a small bump that's itchy . Not sure if it's from the shaver , I never used the shaver after that happened to me I just left it alone . I get itchy around the anus and vagina but it seems like there's nothing there my boyfriend said its just red could it be from scratching why it's red ? Could the itchiness be from the hair growing back ? I was getting worried that I might have herpes

That is a symptom but most often with hemrroids, there blood on the toliet paper or extreme pain from a inflated tissue filled with blood.

I get discharge , it's like clear and white . I googled it and it seemed like it was nothing serious , I've been having discharge since I was about 12 years old . It's the same how it always was . I googled it and it said it could be from hormones from pregnancy

At my first prenatal she did blood work / urine samples . Would that include all of the STI checkings?  
These bumps don't open up at all they just kinda sit there n itch then go away . They don't open or pop , I have an appointment tomorrow morning for an exam for the group b strep . I was getting worried bout the itching and iriritation .  Since the bumps are still there she will know what's going on down there right ?

Hi, bottom line is that you need a herpes test being pregnant anyway not due to your boyfriends scrotum bump but just as a general rule. Your bumps that your describing no way appear herpes related. They are topical that open and release clear liquid and the scrotum is not a place for outbreaks to occur as the skin is too thick there.
Both he and your itching problem would appear more fungal related or irritations form shaving and hair growing back.
Do followup with your doctor about your concerns and both you and he need a blood test for herpes for the babys interest during the birthing process.
