Extreme burning, can barely walk

So before I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and BV, I had extreme burning, it hurt so badly that I could barley walk! I was burning and red all inside the labia minora (vaginal lips). With this burning I had an odorless discharge that looked milky, and I kept wiping it away, but that just made my burning worse. Could this be caused my herpes?? Or could it be from the yeast and BV. I could have had BV for months, because I never got tested for it until recently and have had multiple issues with my vagina for atleast 4 months! Burning, itching, discharge, taste bud looking bump that just disappeared out of no where one day like it fell off, irritation on certain spots for a day or two, it's been a horrible experience!! Oh and in top of that I was sick but only in this last month, when I was burning the first time I had to flu like symptoms, the burning would be there for half a day and be gone for the other half, it seemed to hurt more in the morning. Please let me know what you think.

So did you find out what that taste bud like patch  area was? I have that same thing on my labia minora, but I'm scared to find out what it might be. It's a little itchy, but hurts more than anything else. I can go to the bathroom fine, but the wiping myself is what hurts. Things like sex or any type of direct contact.

I would like to update and say that I am symptom free for a month!! I used a garlic clove directly in my vagina for two nights and the yeast was gone!!
I've also been using AZO yeast once a day to prevent a yeast infection but so far so good!!!! :)

Yep I think it's yeast!!! Ugh I hate it!!! This yeast won't go away! I think it's gone and I get BV then I fix the BV and I get yeast!!!! It's a never ending story!!!!!
Well my visit to see my bf won't b as fun... This sux! I haven't seen him in almost a year and I won't b able to have sex with him!!!! I can't believe this!!!!
I just feel like giving up and accepting that I will always have yeast and just live with it.

I think your yeast and my yeast are conspiring together... Today I am literally having the Exact same thing. Also near the clitoris. Its driving me absolutely insane. As for the discharge, I'm having it too. You're not alone! Damn yeast...
On that note, I've read this entire thread now and you were right. Nearly the exact same scenario, including all the symptoms (except I didn't have a cut-like thing, I have a red bump somewhere up the hairline.)
We want our lives back now, god.

Ok grace since I don't know what is normal any more I was hoping that you can answer a question. Now I'm not worried about herpes anymore and I found out that my undies were one of the culprits of my clitoris being irritated. And I've been using a very sensitive dove soap which helps ALOT. So I'm not itchy at all anymore!!!
BUT I have this thick discharge, now it doesn't come on my undies at all, my undies have been pretty dry, it's a big relief!! But when I look down there I see white stuff, it's like thick and creamy, and it stays put, so it hasn't been coming out of the vagina. I'm just worried that it's another yeast infection, altho I feel fine, except for a little sting where I pee but only if I hold it too long, so is this normal discharge or is this another yeast infection?? Should I be seen even though I don't itch?

And now my cliroris hood is slightly red and irritated and it seems as if I'm wet on the outside at all times!!! Yet the discharge looks normal now. It's like I'm sweating or something on the outside, and it looks shinny at all times!!! WTH!!!! Plus it hurts to touch my self down there, not in any specific location, if I touch anywhere it hurts!!! What in the world is wrong with me!!!!! I'm not too bothered until I have to pee, now I pee just fine, it's when I wipe that I feel soar, but I have checked myself everywhere and there is no reason to feel soar, it's like the skin is too thin and irritated!!! Idk what's wrong with me!! I just want to b normal again!!!

Ok I don't like whinning all the time but I have this red spot about the same place I had the abrasion, it's under the cliroris hood and it itched like crazy!!!
I believe that all my infections are over, so far I have normal discharge, and everything looks normal except that one spot under the clitoris hood!!!! I hate it! This is why I think it's herpes!! But no dr would swab the area!! I'm getting sick of asked drs to please test and they refuse to!! Plus I can't see my gyno for another week, and by then this red spot will prolly be gone!
Oh and about the butt... Or anus, it seemed to be my hemmroid acting up again... Ugh...

Ugh so right now my *** hurts... **** I know it's TMI but I'm scared about it!! It's only like the whole that's itchy!! The hemmroid looks like its gone but im all itchy!!! WTH!! Now I know that herpes can be near the anus, it looks red and irritated, and like I have been wiping too hard, which I kinda have because it's been itchy! Idk, if I don't have obvious ulcers can I be sure that's it's statistically not herpes?? Or should I go get it swabbed??? See I've been to a dr b4 when I was irritated and they  didn't wanna swab it cuz they said it doesn't look like herpes... I wish that I could get over this!!

Ok basically I had gone to my gyno, she prescribed me flagyl! I took it for 10 days... Then I got a slight yeast infection I waited a couple days then was prescribed diflucan, I took one, in a week I felt better! Since then I've been taking it day by day!! I pray everyday that it doesn't come back. I still have a pinching feeling inside my cliroris but no burning or itching so I'm just happy that those to symptoms are gone!!!

Yes I do need to see a dermatologist... On the Internet I found ppl just like me who have always chewed on there lip and now they have stopped but noticed that its impossible because their lips peel constantly!!! And I found a condition that's like a cycle of peeling then heals looks normal then start peeling again! I do believe I have that... Too bad my body can't get rid of hsv1 this way... I mean my lips are constantly shedding!!!!!
One time I stopped picking it and I had this HUGE flap of dead skin just hanging there on my lip it was gross... So finally I caught my self ripping it off with my teeth which pulled good skin off of where it was attached to... Ugh... Yet I did have an open wound kinda I figured ok that's a cold sore... Three days later my lips looked normal completly normal...

Yes but I have been causing trama to my lip for years... And even kissed my bf like that... Actually many bf's and they never got any kind of sores! So I'm really confused! I'm trying really hard not to rip my lips, but I have a condition where my lips peel for three days then the third day looks normal then it starts the process of peeling again!!!! So when it starts peeling I've caught myself ripping the skin off, and sometimes I rip good skin off...so I have been just guessing its a cold sore... But I NEVER had yellow crusting!!!! And everyone i know who gets cold sores has oozing and crusting. Idk... I'm guessing my genes are just good, my brother never gets cold sores... But my mom and dad and whole family does! My mom gets ones on her lip that makes her lip look a Lil swollen but she hides it with lip stick. My dad gets blisters right on the outside of his lip like on the lip linning.
Is it possible that I never transmitted the virus to any guy I have passionately kissed? I mean with the exception of my first bf I kissed 7 years ago, every guy I have kissed has never had a cold sore!!! Yet here I am hsv- 1 pos.
Now I do realize that shedding is higher when I cause trama to my lip... I am trying really really hard not to bite or rip it, but my lip condition makes it nearly impossible.

sounds like you are causing the trauma to your lips and it's not a cold sore. that said, trauma to the lips can cause shedding of hsv1 - just something to be aware of if you find yourself doing that and causing yourself open lip sores from it again.

saliva is a poor way to transmit herpes.

So I know I keep asking paranoid questions but would like to ask one more.
What are the chances of getting ghsv1 through saliva? Is there a very low chance, is the chances higher if say using saliva like tube for sex and having a mild yeast infection? how much higher?
Ugh I know I shouldn't be paranoid, I know I need to get over it, but it just sucks not knowing for sure! Me and my bf havent talked it about it in a while, he got annoyed and told me that he's sure I don't have it and I need to get over it. Since we have ignored the subject I haven't asked him if he got a blood test... I'm going to ask him to get one done, if he's neg for hsv1 I have a feeling that I'm going to be even more paranoid. I think that's why I haven't asked him yet.
I do think that I've had oral hsv1 for many years, I may have had it when I was a child. But my cold sores are so atypical!! I chew on my lip until it bleeds and then it heals in three days... I always thought that it was just a nervous habit that I had, but it must be cold sores! I always thought that I chew my lip which makes it hurt so I bite it more until it bleeds, now I think really there is a tingling that makes me bite my lip, then it starts hurting and I bite it until it bleeds which is why it doesn't ooze like a normal cold sore. Idk I'm guessing, it would have been so much more easier if I was neg for hsv1, but 80% of ppl are pos... I guess I never thought I had it before because my ex who had it had really ugly cold sores, like if he accidentally cut his lip it would ulcerate and look ugly and stay for a week, so I always thought that since I cut my lip and it didn't ulcerate I was clear... I was wrong!!! Plus no other guy i was with ever had signs of cold sores... And you said that its highly unlikely to get it from sharing drinks or straws with someone who has a cold sore so i couldnt have gotten it from my bestfriend who gets cold sores on a regular basis(she said that her cold sores are like little bumps that tingle and if she doesnt put stuff on it then it will get bigger until its one huge blister that bursts and ulcerates) I guess it's true, people respond to diff viruses differently.

I am fine most days but then when I think about the cut, and also the time where I couldn't even walk or pee because I was in so much pain on the inner lips, I start freaking out and get pissed off at myself that I didn't go anywhere other than planned parent hood to be seen. I think, what if I had the area swabbed, would it have come up positive?? Idk...
