Yeast Infection still?? Help.

Help, please.
I go back to the Gyno tomorrow, but here's whats up..
I gave oral and possibly genitals touched, but have
never had "sex." That was almost 3 yeasr ago. For the
past 8 months, i've been experienced vaginal discharge
and itching. My discharge has been thick and white-yellow
and is now a little thinner. I went to the gyno 4
months ago, and she swabbed me and said i had a yeast
infection. Since then, she's prescribed me 4 pills and a supposatory. The symptoms went away for about 2 1/2 weeks this last time, but now are back with a little less discharge.
It was a lot, requiring me to wear a pad each day and
I still do. My skin has gotten raw a couple times
from scratching the itch, and bleed a tad which can
be expected. Could a yeast infection now be cleared
up? I know you cannot be sure without an exam, but
do you have any ideas? I'm freaking out.

Just throwing it out there, but herpes discharge would
come and go right? Not be this consistant. I don't have
any other symptoms of that like sores, but I've been
researching it for sometime now, and I'm so worried of
anything it could be.

4-day treatments are not generally long enough to effectively treat a yeast infection. It is recommended that they are treated for no less than 7-days. If you are experiencing the same symptoms as when your doctor diagnosed you before, get a Monistat (or other brand) 7-day treatment and that should take care of it.

If it recurs, you may one of the unlucky souls who needs ongoing treatment (via pill) for chronic yeast infections.

And it's not herpes.  Usually people will experienc some discharge before an actual breakout.  Discharge in itself is not a symptom of herpes.
