Herpes Or Yeast?

Herpes Or Yeast?

Hello, I'm 20 years old and a female and recently I got my first yeast infection. I had severe itching in my vagina and the area was red and raw. I took an over-the-counter medication at the advice of my mm who assured me it was yeast. Four days later the itching came back, but not as bad. I couldn't get an appointment for a few days and during that time the itching moved over to the perianal area as well. I went to the doctor and she gave me a pill for the yeast as well as a gel for a bacterial infection she said I had. Three days later I started itching on my groin, under my pubic hair. I went back to the doctor and she found some pimple like bumps near my anus which she took samples of to check for Herpes which I haven't gotten the results back yet. A few days later I got a painful sore on my groin that was pink and bled onto my underwear. Now it seems to have gone down in size and has left a small white blister area. Hopefully I'll get the herpes results back soon but I was wondering if this could be anything else? The itching on my groin is still there as is the white clumpy discharge. The itching everywhere else has subsided for now.

I've been fighting a bad yeast infection and BV for atleast 4 months and never got pimple like bumps or a blister down there.
I'm no expert tho

Best thing to do at this point is wait for your lesion culture results. it could be herpes going on along with your vaginitis or just a bacterial skin infection.  How long has it been since you finished your treatments for yeast and bv?

do you have a regular partner? if so, have either of you ever been tested for herpes?
