Mysterious bumps/itching on inner labia

Hello everyone,
I just spent the last few hours sobbing because I suspect that I may have genital warts/genital herpes.
Here's the deal- I have been REALLY itchy down there. Its so uncomfortable. I looked and there are tiny bumps on my labia. If I were to describe them, I'd say they looked like swollen taste buds. I'm trying to figure out how I would even contract an STD/STI, considering I'm a virgin. I understand that it is very possible to get one without having sex though. I think only a hand has been down there in the last several months/TMI.
Anyway, I'm terrified. I made an appointment for Monday. I looked at the pictures of genital warts online, and to be honest what I have doesn't look like the pictures. I understand that genital warts often take the form of cauliflower clusters. I don't really have that. I noticed in the tags that people mentioned bumps due to yeast infections. I don't think I have a yeast infection though.
All I have so far are small, flesh colored bumps, and extreme itching. Aside from genital warts, does any one know what it could possibly be? I'm on the brink of a panic attack, and simply NOT knowing is making it worse.
If anyone has any idea what's going on, then please let me know. Thank you in advance!
