cyst or herpes?

for the past few years, i have gotten a few (what I believe to be) cysts on my inner labia (left hand side only). i have usually only gotten one at a time and they are about the size of a pea (sometimes the size of a pebble) underneath the skin..no blistering or scabbing...painful only when touched - kind of feels like when you have a pimple deep in the skin. they can swell up to maybe the size of a small marble...but most of the time i have been able to get them to a head and pop them after taking sitz baths (yellow, brownish puss - kind of like a zit and some blood). occasionally, i cannot get them to pop but they do shrink down and i can still feel the sacs after they shrink for weeks. they tend to show up in the summer time, after bikini waxing or sex that may be rough or dry. anyway, i'm creating a post because i happen to have had two of these at the same time (rare) at the time of my annual gyno examination last week. the area was red and swollen as i had attacked the area the night before trying to pop both of them (was successful with one)....my doctor took a herpes blood test and i am waiting for the result. he said i may just have sensitive skin and i need to be more careful about sweating, exercise, etc., but he still wanted to take the test because of the redness. i am really anxious...i will not get the results for another week...i have never had a typical outbreak (no tingling, no blisters, no open sores, no headaches etc.)...only these cyst type things..since my doctor visit 4 days ago, it feels like the cyst i popped still seems to have filled up again (size of a pea again). the other cyst did shrink but i can still feel the small pebble sized sac. has anyone else had these type of symptoms and been tested for herpes?
