Do you think that this is herpes? Or just a bad reaction?

I went to the pool about one and a half weeks ago. I ended up having sex after I returned to the pool without showering off. I got my period this past Friday and I noticed a burning sensation on my lips. I searched it up and they said that it was a cold sore? Herpes simplex? I also started to have burning sensations while I peed, but it went away after two days. When my period came on, I shaved in case to see if I notice any weird blisters that would indicate herpes. Now I have two long rows of red bumps on my vagina. I don’t know whether it’s just a bad reaction to the pool, or actually in fact herpes. I also have a red rash on my lower boob and arm. I need help!!!!

Did you use a condom? You can get a boob and arm rash from many causes.

No, sadly I wasn’t very cautious in using that. I’ve had sex with him many times before without one, so I don’t know why I’m reacting in this way now.
