Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic!
The classical sign and symptoms of herpes are painful vesicles. Vesicles are tiny rashes containing a transparent fluid. They usually start small and then increase in number. This seems like what you are describing. If this is so, I will advise you to see a doctor immediately. Firstly, you need to test for other sexually transmissible infections like hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV and chlamydia. Secondly, you need to start treatment with the antiviral Acyclovir and a strong analgesic (Tramadol). It is important to start a corticosteroid (Prednisolone) to prevent postherpetic neuralgia and an antibiotics therapy (Amoxicillin) to prevent infections in case you have an ulcer.
Hope that clarifies you concern. Thank you for the query.
Take care
