HELP ME!

I need some help. I posted on women's health community but they never help me with anything. But i am a 25 year old female. I do have herpes and I have had it since Oct 2008. I was recently examining myself. I notice a bump on the labia majora toward the bottom of it. The bump is hard which I think it might be a broil ( i think i spelled it right) What cause a broil? And another thing how would you know if your having a yeast infection? I notice some white discharge this morning. I do plan on going to the doctor but I wanted some input before I decided to visit my physician. Please HELP

boil - close enough :)

If it's a hard lump it's not your herpes. Probably a benign cyst or an ingrown hair. Soaking in the bathtub can be helpful or just apply warm compresses several times a day to it until you can be seen. Don't guess and self treat for yeast - have them properly test you for vaginal infections.

Hope you get answers and relief soon :)

I wasn't planning on testing myself for a yeast infection. I just wanted an opinion before i went to the physician. I don't know it if a yeast infection or not. and also benign cyst is that bad?
