Yeast infection or herpes?

Do I have herpes, or a yeast infection?
I have noticed some small bumps on my labia majora, they were there before I began to have unprotected sex.
But lately I have noticed a slight tingly feeling down there, its not exactly the tingle like your leg fell asleep but more like a pinchy one time tingle, almost like you are being pked by someone(And not in a good way).
It does not hurt to pee, and the only discharges I have noticed are either clear or white, but this pinching has been getting really annoying to me.

I have a couple theories as to what this might be but am not entirely sure. Theories are; yeast infection, ingrown hair and/or syphilis.
I am not able to see a doctor for this right now and its killing me not to know what this is.

I have tried identifying it with pictures on the internet but havent been able to make an exact match(due to that most of the pics are of lighter skined V's and I am darker skinned)

I have a one bump just below my clit and it was itchy and now it's very sore I've had it almost a week and it's slowly going away. I also have been looking at pics online and what I've seen herpes always comes in clusters or more then one bump. I think mine is a yeast infection because I just finished antibiotics for a bladder infection. I'm freaked out as well but I can't get to a doctor because they are all booked until next week and I wanna know now.

bottom line is you need to be seen to find out what is going on. there is a good reason why medical professionals go to school - it's a lot more than comparing pictures online :)

did you and your current partner both seek out full std testing that included herpes testing prior to being intimate together?

have you had your gardasil shots for hpv?
