is this herpes or folliculitis or ingrown hair? what does it look like more?

I was shaving one day with a razor, then two days later i noticed a couple of bumps by my grown. two of them had a white head and i popped them.. just once though. its kind of crusty... i don't know why, maybe because i tan and my skin is dry? but i havent been sexually active, and have had one parent the last year, that i know doesnt have anything...they do not itch, hurt, burn, or anything... i did have some vaginal discharge but it was white and clear milky kind of, just leak out of me for a second or so.. i dont get burning sensations when i pee or anything. but sometimes i do get itchy but not only on my vagina... when i get an itch down there i just itch it for a second and get itchy somewhere else like my back or something. what could this be? i have to wait till my doctor gets into town, and this is just driving me CRAZY..... Please give me some advice and tips. and your opinion on what this looks like, itll really help me out. here is a picture... http://m.imgur.com/EQYSAff

Does not sound like an hsv outbreak. I get the same thing from time to time when I do some manscaping. Herpes lesions go from a dot to a fluid filled painful blister in a day or so. Then it pops and starts to heal. The ehole thing usually takes 10-14 days. Yours sound more like ingrown hairs to me. You can have your Dr take a look. Again does not sound like hsv to me.

Well it was smaller before... Now they are a little bigger. There is about 8/9 of them. Is it possible to have that many ingrown hairs of follucitis? But I've had them for 7 days and they seem to be the same no watery liquid came out of them just two were kind of like a pimple and I popped two and just alittle **** came out of them and now they are just crusted over chilling on my vag. I feel like a couple of them are gonna scar? What do you think? I'd really like your opinion

Follucitis is a possibility for sure and yes you could have that many after shaving. I have.  The lesions still don't sound like hsv to me. They are not puss filled.  Again I doubt very much that this is hsv.  That being said I really think you should have your Dr take a look just for your peace of mind..
