Is it a Yeast Infection or Herpes?

I have swollen lymph glans as well as a swollen labia.  I also have a what appears to be a "cut" on the swollen labia and is now kinda scaby looking.  I noticed this cut a couple of days ago because it caused me some burning.  It is very uncomfortable to wear jeans, therefore I have been wearing very wide sweat pants that avoid as much contact possible with my vagina.

I have previously had UTI and a Yeast Infection.  Before this cut appeared, I thought that I had UTI again due to the foul smell and the cloudyness of my urine which I still have, but I am now more concerned about the blister looking cut on my labia. Many people would assume it could be herpes which scares me.  Any opinions before I go to the doctor?

i dont want to freak you out but the scab and not wanting anything to come in contact with it and the discomfort are all sure signs of herpes i know this because i caught it from a guy who cheated on me...and i know this is exactly how it feels its like a scab that hurts and is very sensitive even light material brushing against it kills so please go see a Dr asap if I am not mistaken then they will gove you some Valtrex it is very effective and can help occurences be less frequent hope this helps! I remember when i first caught it i thought life was over but it is not there are so many people who have it and dont say so thats why it is so popular and when you dont have an occurence you can pretty much be your usual self just maybe if you are single be much more careful now ALWAYS use protection and sadly Herpes can be transmitted even with a condom on because if other areas of the skin have any breakout just the contact can pass it on...its basically a cold sore on your sexual places...

you need to go and be seen and get  a full work up done.  this could be many things from a vaginitis going on with a uti to yes even herpes.

have you and your partner had full std testing before?
