Herpes or yeast infection?! Help!!

So i'll get straight to the point, for over a week now I have had these symptoms but they have become progressively worse.. Thick white discharge / tingling sensation all around vagina / lower pain in abdomen (can sometimes be quite bad) / very sore and itchy opening at the vagina which has now turned white in colour with red spots in areas that look very sore. I also generally feel unwell and sometimes very dizzy and nauseous.

I feel sick with worry that i may have herpes as I recently slept with someone on holiday (3 weeks ago) without any protection (i dont need a lecture believe me i have now learnt my lesson!) however, before I went on holiday I had the same discharge and pain in the lower abdomen for about a week before my period which then went away before I went on holiday.

So my question is do you think this could be herpes? Or a very bad yeast infection??! I am sick with worry and cannot go to the doctor until next Tuesday! I do not have the herpes like sores, however I do have red spots and very sore and tender red areas around the vulva which is scaring the hell out of me.

Any info would greatly be appreciated, I am going out of my mind!
Thank you.
Most likely thrush, it can cause a rash.

There might well be a walk in sexual health/GUM clinic you can go to, saving you a trip to the GP, alternatively, you might find it easier to get an appointment with the nurse.
