i recently had what i believed to be a yeast infection but i wasn't sure so i called my doctor. i told the lady that answered the phone all of my symptoms(swelling, itchiness, discharge) and included that i had razor burn because i read that herpes is sometimes confused for that. she called back and said the doctor wanted to see me so i went in the next morning. she examined me and told me that it did not look like herpes at all because there were no sores and that she was 90% sure it was razor burn, so i was relieved of course. she cultured my discharge to send it away and also did a test in the room where she rubbed the swab on a piece of orange paper(she said if it turned yellow yeast was the problem or if it turned bluish/green bacteria was the problem). it turned a green color so she prescribed me a gel to insert once a night for 5 days. now here comes the confusion, the so called razor burn was located on the left side where i shave (close to my lips, you actually had to move my lips over to see it) and now its located on the other side? so obviously it wasn't razor burn because that doesn't spread. does this sound like it could in fact be genital herpes?
