Do I have herpes?
by jessicawilliams, Jul 02, 2009 07:51PM
I just need a little help right now and from what you all have experienced maybe you can help...months back i woke up with a bad yeast infection...after treating it about a week later it had cleared up. one morning i looked down and there was a horrible large sore out of no where! It was almost black and eventually almost looked like a cancer..it hurt alot. Having had this I went to the doctor but by this point it was healed..she tested me for everything BUT herpes and have no idea why. Anyways about a month later...yet another yeast infection which was treated and cured...now about 5 months later i woke up with an irrated vulva, red and itchy, nothing that looked like blisters or sores..then had discharge and treated the yeast infection again! About 2 weeks later yet again i wake up one morning with one vaginal lip swollen...it became very red and itchy...a few days later it seemed like another yeast infection..treated and then had my period and seemed fine..i have just ended my period and my vulva is again red and itchy its somewhat more...wrinkled then usual if that makes any sense but ive never had any at least which i could see...and anypain like the first time since?
I know sometimes yeast infections can infect the skin but wondering if anyone has had a similar experience?

If you are being properly diagnosed as having yeast infections each of these times then you do have yeast going on. Yeast can be a bugger to clear up and keep clear and since you've been having such a go of it, talk to your provider about taking oral diflucan weekly for a few weeks to see if you can get on top of it all. Also do things like reduce simple sugars in your diet, go bottomless when you can around the house ( cool, drying air is less conducive to yeast overgrowth ), don't wear panty liners except for when you really have to ( they suggest changing panties more often instead ), don't wear panty hose and look into femdophilus by jarrow - a probiotic that has been proven to colonize the urogenital tract in females and reduce vaginitis. Sometimes it just suck s to be female :(
