Google told it is herpes or syphilis
I am experiencing symptoms after having unprotected, dry sex one week ago. A couple of days after sex, I noticed a big bump on my vulva (the outer loose skin). Now I am on my 2nd/3rd day of my period, and the first bump has shrunk, but two new tiny bumps have appeared side-by-side. The area is quite itchy and irritated by my sanitary pads. Additionally, for the last two days, I have been experiencing systemic body aches, tiredness, and a headache. Because of the timing, I am worried this might be a primary outbreak of an infection like Herpes. Please help me with the right diagnosis and treatment. What should I do
