HPV would be localized to the vaginal canal and herpes would tend to be vesicular, painful, ooze fluid and then resolve so it could be some kind of fungal infection.  I'm happy to hear you do have an appt. with an OB/GYN who will more than likely be able to diagnose it on the spot or arrange for the appropriate tests.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
