Itching and soreness?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, aha.
I went on holiday on 23rd June and returned on the 30th June. During this holiday I had been in the sea and swimming in indoor and outdoor pools. I also had sexual intercourse on the 24th/25th with contraception, but I have no idea about the other person's past sex life. Later on the 25th my menstruation started. It finished around on the 29th and since returning from my holiday I have had itchiness with my labias which has resulted in soreness. It is greatly affecting my comfort levels and is also causing me to worry greatly. Should I visit my GP or are there treatments I can start to resolve this issue?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would want to see you for testing. There is a possiblity that the problem is a simple yeast infection, but I would be concerned about STDs given the rest of the history. I am NOT a fan of the vaginal yeast preparations as they potentially can cause dermatitis that is bad as the original infection. Oral diflucan does work really well.
Sounds like quite a nice holiday!
Hope this helps!

Thank you. I'm booking up an appointment to be tested soon, but due to a new system you have to make the appointment in the morning by phone.
