Herpes?

So 3 days I noticed open sores on my left labia majora.

Background: the last time I had sex was 5 months ago. We used a condom, and before we had sex, he rubbed his penis over my vagina without the condom. After that, I haven't had any sexual contact with anyone.

three days ago, I shaved my vagina and the day after noticed open sore, ulcer looking things. They don't burn when I pee or itch, they're just there. Before I even shaved, I had three pee sized bumps at different spots on both majoras.

Female | 18 years old
Complaint duration: 7 days
Conditions: infected hair follicles that cause swollen lymph nodes (diagnosed by doctor), sharp pains in vagina when I was 9

Tjis is impossible to diagnose over the internet. You should get examined and let a gyn diagnose you.

Ulcerations on the vulvar area are not normal. Considerations would be herpes, syphilis, chancroid, etc. Molluscum contagiousum is also a possibility but less likely. You should see your OB/GYN and they can evaluate the sores, do cultures and blood work to determine the cause and recommend best treatment option for you.
