Does this sound like heroes/std?

I was having unprotected sex with a guy back in June. Couple weeks later I had this itchy, sore cyst like thing right next to my bikini line that wouldn't go Down.

About a week and a half ago the cyst and itchiness came back and developed a huge whitehead like pimple on top it that looked like this around the time of my period https://www.yogile.com/cymd7l2o#07140256l. The same day I developed a smaller whitehead like thing on the other side of my vagina on the other side of the lip but I think it was an ingrown hair because I saw a hair poking through it a few days later

The same day I noticed all this i tried to put urine over the pimple like bump to see if it would burn but it didn't. I eventually popped it because it was so irritating. Later that day or the next day I noticed this blood filled bump. I wasn't sure if it was just a boil but It kept seeping small bits of blood throughout the day and would hurt or get irritated anytime i stood up, sat down , wore clothes. It would HURT. And whenever I would try to pull my underwear down it would hurt as if I'm ripping a scab.

I kept putting a hot HOT cloth on it. Hoping the red bump would come to a head but it didn't. But the cyst and red bump on top of it kept getting smaller and smaller, and stopped hurting so much but I was still seeing tiny blood spots from it in my underwear. I also felt tingles on the outer part all over my vagina one day but I was super freaking out during the time and wasn't sure if I was just nervous

The bump is now gone but it looks like this https://www.yogile.com/twxs4nko#41m
It doesn't hurt or anything anymore but the sight is just super irritating

As for the ingrown hair bump. I plucked it two days ago but the bump is still there. I haven't noticed any big changes

Does this sound like herpes? A boil? Folliculitis ? I do shave frequently in the area which the two bumps appeared and I admit I'm not always careful while shaving but I can't afford to get checked right now but I'm really scared and I'm not sure what to do. I also felt a tingly sensation on my lips two days ago while I was heavily stressed about the sensation, but again, I wasn't sure if I was just overreacting. No blisters or sores have appeared. Also should I avoid sex if it IS just a boil or folliculitis ?

Hi, this would appear more infected hair folicle than herpes since its not painful and herpes are not white heads but liquid filled clear fluid.
