White edge around vagina opening

I feel burning and have a white edge around my opening of my vagina.  It looks like it is freezer burnt.  Slight itching, but not bad.  What could this be?

I had unprotected sex the other day with someone, I know him and we have before, last time I got a bacterial infection but I thought it was a coincidence but now I have the same symptoms as worried_0123 and I am scared! I will go to the GYN Monday... I hope it's nothing serious, maybe next time I won't be stupid and day condum instead of just thinking it

I have been diagnosed with hpv just recently. I cried and cried to my now ex bf about how could this have happened, I have only been with him. Later on down the line I find he has been sleeping with ts. To make it worse I just had a leep procedure a month ago. I decided to have sex and now I have these white cluster around my vagina. Guys are very dirty ladies and if we do not pay attention, they will kill us off. I'm very devestated and I have to be secretive about myself down there, because some guy has been cheating the whole relationship!

I'm surprised the doctor gave you an antibiotic????? Antibiotics can make yeast infections worse. I'm surprised he didn't give you Diflucan. If you don't get better, I'd ask about Diflucan. Also, a probiotic is still a good idea, especially after taking antibiotics. You need to replace your good bacteria. Well, my news is not so good :(  I have genital herpes 1 AND vulvodynia. The herpes probably caused nerve damage which causes me constant vaginal pain (vulvodynia). I'm taking acyclovir for herpes and Lyrica for the vulvodynia. At least I have some answers, but I don't like the answers. I am very depressed :(

I went to the doctors and turned out it was a bad yeast infection ((PHEW)).  I was worried sick.  She gave me intibiotics and i'm ok now.  She said anytime there is a change in a womens PH that does happen.  I have gotten her to do some retesting on for any STD's and should have results this week but i feel good about the outcome.  Thanks soooo much for your support. :-)

I know this is way easier said than done, but I would try to not worry too much until you see the doctor and hopefully have some test results. Make sure the doctor knows you have HPV, and be totally honest about your recent sexual activity. I would request a full std screening including blood work. Just in case it is simply yeast you might got to your local health food store and ask for a good probiotic for women. Even if it's not yeast, the probiotic would be good for you. Well, I understand your pain. Lately, I feel like I'm holding on by a thread. So, if you ever need to talk.... I'm here. We can continue to post publicly or feel free to send me a private message if you like. Although it's very hard for me as well, I'm going to try to take my own advice and not worry myself sick. I'm going to try to start my day. (((((((((((((((e-hug)))))))))))))))

I'm kinda freaking out because last year my now ex-bf gave me HPV and found he was cheating on me with Multiple women.  Hence, giving me HPV.  I got the warts treated and haven't had sex in almost a year because the whole ordeal freaked me out.  approx. two weeks ago, i was intimate with someone and we were maybe two minutes into vaginal sex when we realized the condom broke and I just stopped completely after that....I got so paranoid.  Now, two weeks later i'm having these symptoms and am hoping it's not related to any of that but my mind keeps going back to the HPV of last year and the condom breaking two weeks ago.  I have to wait to see my doctor this week and am hoping its just some type of yeast infection.  Although, I have gotten those in the past and there was a discharge but never a whitening of my inner vagina.  Cross your fingers for me and I will definately let you know the outcome but if anyone here in the meantime has ANY idea of what it could be....Please let me know.
