Itchy Inner Labia

i got itchy spot close to my virginia. At first i just thought it is just an itch. Later it started to itch so much that i couldn't sleep at night. So I checked it out myself to see what it is and see this..

It look like a clear bumps range on my inner labia . I don't know what it is..
I am 25 years old and I am sexually active past 2 week. Normally it is safe sex until a week before the itch appear .. it wasn't anything crazy.. it was more like just a few second to see how it like.
but yah, a week later it start to itch.. it'd been like this for 4 days.
I told my mom that i have an itch problem down there and she said it probably just normal itch problem from bad hygiene  and give me hydrocortisone cream (on my 2nd day) after that it was like some of the time I don't feel anything.. Some of the time it itch so much that i don't know what to do.  I did told her I want to get check up but she said it is not necessary.
I honestly don't know what to do.. At the same time I don't want to tell her about my sex life too. But i need to know what they are and anyway I can treat it before it is too late

Hey it could be a yeast infection but still check with your doctor especially if you havent been diagnosed with it yet. Also, a week before you statrted it itch you saying you had unprotected sex if so this may be an std.

It could easily be a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV). Both have very similar symptoms, however if it's BV, it won't go away on it's own.  And yeast infections if they go away, tend to come back.
Best solution is to go into your doc. They can take a simple sample that can let you know if you have either of those, and they can prescribe you the antibiotics you need.
Don't be weary of talking about it with your mother either, both of the infections are very common in people who aren't sexually active as well. They can come from other elements such as bad hygeine or being allergic to a body wash or lotion you use.
If the itching keeps up, see your doc!
Good luck and Best wishes! :)

I agree with the alternatives above. U need to seek for the doctor's diagnose, that way u'll b sure if it's a yeast infection or just a simple rash. In the mean time, keep yourself very clean, use cool water and soap fragrance free, like baby Johnson's soap. Change your underwear as often as u can, n please don't have sex, if he loves u he'll understand.
