Bumps Right Around Anus & Vagina
(Pretty gross yeah i know...)
Past month or two I've been getting bumps around my anus and around my vagina..
They're itchy and painful.
At first I thought maybe my partner had given me herpies, but I went to the doctor and got tested and they haven't called me to come in or anything yet so I don't think it's that... And the bumps look nothing like the pictures I've seen on google for herpies.
I also looked up other things it could be like Pin Worms. And yet again they look nothing like the pictures.
The bumps sort of look like a mix between hidradenitis suppurativa and a smaller version of hemmroids.
The bumps are itchy and painful, and from what I can tell sort of have a smell. When I notice them their seems to be lots of fluids around them, such as sweat, discharge, and sometimes I think they have stuff coming out of them, if they do however it is clear. I also thought maybe they were just pimples because my pimples (no matter the location) always itch, even on my face. But I don't know...
I was wondering if they could have something to do with my hair follics and fluids because I have had a history of such especially if I shave. I went to the doctors once because I had itchy painful bumps on my armpits and top of pubic line on vagina and near inner thighs because of me shaving, and sweat, etc.
However these bumps are a bit larger and sometimes come open like lesions and aren't red, but are more so pink.
They are less than the size of a dime. Sometimes they almost look like cysts. (Which I've had 3 before removed from my inner mouth.)
Could this be Pruritus Ani?
Any ideas what this could be? How to treat it? Or what kind of doctor I should see (gyno, dermo, regular doc.?)?
Thank you for all input!

Hi there,
First, let me congratulate you on the best written medical question ever posted in the entire history of this site!
The problem is that nobody here is a doctor. With the wide variety of things this could be; well, it would be unwise for anyone to really throw anything out there as an answer when they haven't a clue.
The one part of your question I can answer is this: Start with your gynecologist if you can get an emergency appointment.
The amount of time they spend probing around people's nether regions gives them a vast wealth of knowledge about various outbreaks that can occur down there.
If they don't know exactly what it is or how best to treat it, they will know the right person to refer you to next.
As for the STD issue: There are several tests for herpes, as not all of them work for all people, or at all stages of infection... So, let the doctor have a look and go from there.
