Strange blister, does anyone know what this could be??

[pleasehelpmeeeeee]

I started having flu-like symptoms and a very sore throat 7 days ago. Around the same time I noticed the skin around the bottom of my labia minora/area around vaginal opening on one side was very tender, swollen, and hard. I didn't look to close until about 2 days ago and noticed underneath there was a white blistery area. It doesn't look like the pictures of herpes blisters though... it was flat and soft (not raised) and I could kind of move it around. And it was pearly white and not yellow or red at all. For some dumb reason I pinched it with my fingernails and a bit of fluid came out and I even got a bit of the skin (came off in my nail when i pinched it) Now it looks like a canker sore you'd have in your mouth. Before the whole area was tender but the blister didn't hurt and there was no itching. Now the ulcer just hurts and the swelling has gone down. My flu-symptoms are mostly gone but I still have a sore throat and it has been 7 days. I did go to the dr and get swabbed and I am waiting for the results but I am going crazy. I'm so terrified this is herpes. It is in the spot where the bartholin gland is so maybe it could have been a bartholin cyst?? Or maybe the swollen skin caused a friction blister? I did have unprotected sex (I can't believe myself). But it was with someone I trusted and I really don't think he could have had an STI, obviously now I'm not so sure. I don't want to ask him yet in case it's not. Has anyone else had anything similar??

Sometimes we can develop sores due to friction from lack of lubrication. So it could be from that. But I am curious as to if you mention this sore to your doctor when you were having your sore throat checked? Also, to be safe, I would get yourself checked out for any STIs and STDs. Never assume that a person doesn’t have something because they can have something and never knownif due to lack of symptoms. So please get yourself checked out!
