Herpes scare

I am currently experiencing large, white blisters around my vagina and anus. The blisters have sort of holes in the middle and are not anywhere on my vulva or labia, just on the skin surrounding it. I am very scared that it is herpes, but i have no other symptoms and they are not painful, just itchy. I have had bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection within the past couple months so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

That is one of a number of possibilities, including yeast, scabies, folliculitis etc.

The best indicator would be if there is white pus present in the sores, which is much more in keeping with those conditions mentioned above than herpes.

is it possible that it could be molloscum contagiosum?

I had unprotected sex with a guy last week, but I am pretty sure he doesn't have the virus as I know that he has never showed symptoms and his previous partner of 3 years tested negative for the herpes virus

I think you need to present to a doctor immediately and demand a swab test that includes looking for HSV (preferably using PCR).

What has been your sexual history in the 2 weeks leading into the blisters appearing?
