Hello sorry to be back but my thread was closed before I could use my 2nd follow up reply. 

When you said nothing sounds like herpes did you mean the ingrown like bumps I recently got, the two red bumps from 2020, or the cuts from my yeast infection??

Further, at the start of my yeast infection I had white spots appear on my labia minora. They wouldn’t rub off easily so I’m sure they weren’t yeast. They’re very white spots and appear randomly and separately not in a cluster and don’t share a bare. They are starting to look better but I’m not sure if that’s just because a week has passed. 
Do these very white bumps on my labia sound like they could be herpes?

Either way I plan to get checked asap it’s just the weekend so I can’t right now and I’d like some input soon. Thank you.

Yes, those don't sound like herpes to me.  
I'm not clear about what the white spots might be but if you are still concerned, it is good that you are having them checked out. I will also say that you had four posts on your previous question - I allowed one extra post because one of them was short, but we only allow three.

Sorry I didn’t know each post without a reply still counted as my post. I’ll follow the rules now. 

So the white spots are in my labia minora and like I said are scattered from front to back of the lips and separate not sharing a base. They can’t be scraped off or popped and they’ve remained pretty consistent in appearance for a week now. At first I thought they were spots that came with my yeast infection but now I’m not sure. They don’t hurt. Does it sound like they could be herpes? Or what are other possibilities? 

And if they were herpes would it be normal for my hips to still be tingling a week after their onset?

again, this sounds nothing like herpes to me.  Without someone evaluating this in person, I simply have no idea what this might be.  I strongly suggest that you have these white spots evaluated in person.  Herpes does not cause hip tingling

Ok thank you. Would you still recommend against blood testing with standard tests even with these past blemishes and hip sensation? (More of pins and needles than tingling but not as extreme)

Yes, I would recommend against testing in your specific situation.
