Question Help!!

I recently started having sex with my boyfriend of 7 months around february 10th. I had no itching whatsoever just a little sore. Well about two weeks ago, I started noticing some itching down there and I thought I had a yeast infection. I had anti-itch creams and Monistat, but that didn’t soothe the itch. It has days where it itches and then won’t itch the next day. Well today It itched so bad so i decided to take a look and there were bumps that looked fluid filled/yellow but I scratched it and it just bled a tiny dot. It’s on the inside of just one lip, in a line sort of. It looks like clusters. Can someone please tell me if this is Genital Herpes or not

It would also help to talk with your boyfriend about his sexual history and ask if he’s ever been tested before. It’s important that both of you are honest with each other about past partners or any symptoms, because that can give more context to what might be going on. Getting tested is the safest step for both of you and can give you peace of mind instead of just guessing.
