Confused and fed up.

Hi everyone, I am a 18 year old girl and for the past five months I've been having a strange discharge. It's heavy, it soaks through my clothes and I feel like I've wet myself all the time, the discharge gets everywhere, I even feel damp between my butt cheeks. It's sticky, and it sometimes it's clear and other times it is white/yellow. The only time the symptoms disappear is when I'm on my period, which funnily is the only time I feel clean! Even after washing, this discharge makes me feel unclean and uncomfortable, it's constant and I have no relief.

Besides the discharge my labia is red, ocasionally itchy, feels sore and it burns, it's very dry and I've came out in tiny bumps that are rough to touch all over my labia minoria. I also noticed that I've been getting some pimples down there, they're not itchy but they can hurt to touch. I'm not sure if if this is because of the discharge or not but I'm very alarmed.

I've looked up all my symptoms and I've terrified myself thinking it could be a STD, the thing is though I'm a virgin and I've had no intimate or sexual contact whatsoever, not even a kiss. The only thing I can think back to may have causing this is that I placed the handle of a razor near that area in the bathtub, just playing about with it (sorry tmi) a week before this all started. I don't think there is any chance of me getting a STD this way because I know no one in my family has one but I'm just so worried. Is it possible to catch an STD through non-sexual contact?

I've been back and forth to my doctor initially thinking it was a yeast infection but all my treatment for that hasn't worked, my discharge however, does have a yeasty smell to it, so it makes me wonder it's a very, very stubborn yeast infection? My doctor hasn't been particularly helpful as they've been taking so long to do tests and I'm really fed up.

I'm at the stage where I want to start engaging in sexual relationships but with my vagina in this mess, I feel like my sex life is over before it's even begun! I'd really appreciate any insight or advice, anybody know what it could be? Please help!

actually you should ask for a lab test. the doctor should give you instruction how to do it. the lab people will take some of the "discharge" and perform a laboratorium test on it to make sure what it is and how resistant it is on specific medication

If you haven't had any sexual contact whatever you have it's not a STD.
