 the symptoms you have described darling are closely related to herpes,however your saying you used a condom.
did the man in question go down on you as this infection is as easily passed mouth to genitals as it is genitals to genitals.
the thing you need to remember about this infection is it is easily cleared up through antibiotics and should not cause you to many problems however the actual bacteria never goes away.
and you can be prone to break outs every so often.
however its closely related to cold sores and u should not perceive it as some filthy disease it jus means you will have to take the upmost care and reponsibility with your sexual health in the future.
its the most commonly shared std and is prime in women and men of your age.
jus stay kool and if the worst is confirmed theres nothing you can do about it now so accept it and keep ureself looked after.
its not the end of the world and there is far worse things that can and will happen throughout your life.
jus chill now and dont worry it could be any number of things firstly rulling out herpes,inflamed systitus,a vaginal ulcer ect ect.
wait for what the doctor says and deal with it as it comes.
n if u ever need to chat about any worrys u may have u know where to find me
much love x x x x
