Developed Pimples In Vagina, With Some Cracked And Bleeding. Increasing In Number. Help?

Hi... I don't know where to start. Last Monday I developed about 3 pimple like bumps on the lips of my vagina (outer). I assumed it was from shaving and when my vagina itself started itching I didn't worry since I thought my thrush was acting up since I had worn my tampon 3 hours longer then I should have on the Saturday before. By last Wednesday I developed about 2 more pimple like sores along the walls of my lips. One of them was cracked, bleeding and sore. By Friday I had a few more and the triangle of my groin had started itching like crazy. I scratched and noticed that felt good at first but then sooo painful. I shaved yesterday because I noticed the pimple like bumps had increased a whole lot. I also started spraying medical alcohol on the bumps to disinfect them and it would sting so bad. Today about 4 hours ago I felt like it was burning so I put ice packs around. Now about and hour ago I inspected myself and the whole triangle looks angry and red. I have two tender lumps under the top corners of the triangle and the whole area is filled with red bumps that have spread to my inner thighs. I haven't been to the doctor yet because my appointment is for Friday morning and explaining this whole stortpy will be difficult since I'm in Latin America and hardly speak Spanish. Please help me!
