Could it be false positive??

I have been in pain for a week. i used nair a week ago and it started stinging when i urinated the same day. I assumed it was a reaction. I went to dr's two days later and she said it was hair folical infections. Ended up in Urgent care same night with flu like symptoms.. they said they think its herpes.they did a culture and told me results be back in 2 days After no answer and the pain meds not helping. I couldn't walk, couldnt pee without it hurting, and missed work for three days, went back to dr. He said he didnt think it was herpes. By the seventh day i was unable to pee, i think it was anxiety about the pain. I went to ER and while i was there the urgent care called and said test was positive. I told ER and they treated me for it.

Anyway it could be a false positive???

were you seen and properly tested for yeast or was this just a phone call in? if it was just a phone call, I suggest going to be seen and getting a proper exam and testing done to see if indeed it is yeast or not. bv is usually more of the issue than yeast.

dermoplast spray ( the blue can for the genital area, not the red can ) is helpful to spray on the itching areas. also soaking in the bathtub with epsom salts, aveeno bath or even baking soda is also helpful for itching issues too.

I was on antibiotics for vaginits already, i took the entire script. Hoping it's healing. Is there anything to do to stop the itching or its just a sit and wait kind of deal??

Disregard william's questions he really has no idea about what he is talking about and trying to cause fear in people.

No actually i haven't had any pain in my legs, or lower back in a few days. No pain in the vaginal area either. Just itching now. Annoying itching.
