Yes, I'm sexually active with my boyfriend for over a year. Before him, I've only had 1 other sexual partner.
Several months ago, I purchased the Skintimate Berry Shave gel. I used it only a few times, because i think once I got a little irritated (red) for a little bit. So I stopped using it.
Now, I purchased the Sensitive version.
Sunday, I shaved my pubic area with the Skintimate Sensitive Gel for like the 2nd or 3rd time and had rough sex. My vaginal area was normal, and fine.
Monday, I shaved again with Skintimate Sensitive Gel. We tried having sex again but it was very sore, like I had bumps forming under my skin or something. I also have this extra skin type thing between my vagina and anus. this was very irritated so we stopped.
On Tuesday, I noticed 2 red bumps forming on my outer lips, inner lips, and towards the bottom of my vagina opening. They were sore to touch, very red and irritated. Could my vagina just have been really irritated with the Shave Gel and the sex, and the shaving?
On Wednesday, some of the sores turned white. and had puss like stuff come out. I took 2 warm baths that helped with the pain. It hurts to urinate. At the end of the days or every few hours I'd have discharge (or puss?) on my undies with a unpleasant smell. I thought I'd wait until Friday to see if the sores would just drain, thinking it's blocked sweat glands, ingrown hairs or something.
On Thursday, I noticed that I have more sores all over my vagina, like the puss that came out in the previous days spread to more parts on my vagina. I have 2 on the outside lips, many on the inside lips nearest the top, the top part before the clit has a cluster of big ones. I also have one right by the bottom of my clit and on top where the skin covers the clit. Then, the extra skin between my vagina and anus is like roundy and swollen and tender. I also got a couple red bumps inside my vagina right by the entrance. I also felt in my groin area, tender balls (my lyhmp nodes?), painful when felt, on both sides nearest my legs.
Then today, on friday, my anus was very red and it hurt when I pooped yesterday, so I spread open my anus a little bit and I saw a couple red bumps inside the entrance. I took 2 more baths, and I noticed before I took one, the clusters of sores on the top looked like they got popped so they had the bloody look to it, but after being in the bathtub for awhile, they turned white puss filled again.
I'm scared that the sores will just keep spreading.
My Symptoms:
-Pain when urinating-Swollen (?) groin lyhmp nodes-Vaginal sores, and clusters-Sweats, and light chills
It's painful to sit, or lay or walk now. I want to go to the gyno so bad but I'm waiting for my insurance card to be sent to me from my mom. I know I have what may sounds like Herpes, but it's just weird how I got this right after I shaved 2 days in a row. And I know that only the gyno can diagnose me, but I just want everyone's input since my situation is a little different?
I did recently lose weight (about 25ish pounds), and my nutition hasn't been consistent the past few months. It's been up and down, eating little, healthy and fatty foods.
Thank you for your input.

Thank you Sally for your reply.
Yes I want to go to the doctor so bad but I don't have my insurance card with me at the moment. I'm waiting for it in the mail from my Mom :(
Is there some place like a GYNO that I can go to today? Will Urgent Care help me at all? This pain is starting to be unbearable.

I will post as soon as I know my results.
I did end up going to the Doctor's. I went to an Urgent Care in my city.
He prescribed me with some medication (antibiotics & ointment) that helped me. I took 8 pills a day for 10 days & applied ointment. These helped me tremendously with the pain, that I had endured for about 2-3 days prior to getting medicine (the whole weekend). The pills began clearing up the irritation and helped with the pain within the first couple days taking the medicine. By a few days everything was pretty much clear but I kept taking the pills.
He swabbed my vagina on the irritated parts and sores, and told me he would call me after he ran some tests.
I've had some problems with my phone, so I haven't even gotten my results back yet. I'm planning to go by the office today or tomorrow.
As of sex, my doctor said no sex for 2 weeks.
It's been 2 weeks, so my boyfriend and I had sex sunday and Monday. It hurt because I haven't had sex in a few weeks due to the irritation and stuff. But then on Monday it only hurts when he's entering me. Maybe because he's too big, and i'm too little, I don't know..

It sounds like it's just from the shaving, although Herpes in the mouth can spread to the genitals through saliva and other fluids so you should check just to be sure.

Also, I forgot to add---
When I asked the doctor what he thought it might be, he told me it could be 2 things.
1. Herpes- can be from anyone. i.e. your ex partner's partner's partner.
2. Viral bacteria from shaving the hair follicles. He told me that hair is very dirty, and have lots of bacteria where it grows from. So when we shave, there are higher chances to exposing that bacteria and getting infections. That is why it's so important to shave the correct way (shaving how the hair grows-down) and taking care of the delicate area after shaving because it's sensitive. - loose clothes, soothing lotion or oil, etc.
It sucks that the symptoms for these are so much alike and look alike. red bumps that turn into white p***y bumps, or clusters of it, that dry and crust over and hurt AF. Go to the doctor to be sure of YOUR situation. Your health is #1. I know it's scary to get tested, and learn the results, but it's better to catch something sooner than later. Wouldn't you wanna know now ?
He gave me a prescription that is used for herpes, another for antibiotics, and then antibiotic ointment.
