Yeast Infection lesions

[Youngnscared5363]

I've been dealing with with this problem for about a year now, first off I'm a virgin I'm 16. I've had one cold sore in my life. While I was taking a shower I touched my cold sore, then by mistake touched my genital, but water did touch my finger. I'm just saying this because maybe it's a factor. Well around my period, I my vagina mostly my labias get very itchy and white discharge come out, and it smells very yeast. Also there's this patch of red skin from the end of my vagina to the beginning of my anus that's always been there it never really heals. I also get these red patches on my labia minora but it's towards the bottom, when I itch it it become raised and irritated but then it goes away once I stop. The area isn't very itchy but itches sometimes. It isn't painful and when I pee it's a little discomfortable but I don't know if I'm being paranoid. The area doesn't really heal, it's just there. I'm really scared please answer. I'm assuming it's just a yeast infection that's never been treated because I've never went to the doctor for this problem. I don't think it's herpes because I don't experience pain and the itching isn't so severe there are no ulcers just lesions and little tiny bumps that you can't really see unless you pull the skin back, there is little liquid coming out but I think that's just from scratching, please help I'm desperate for answers.

I was itchy all over. I was red and raw in the area below my cliroris, it hurt to pee. It was like that for a long time. Finally that area healed after I stopped scratching and got treated. But the next week the damn yeast came back! I had milky white discharge at one point. I also had chunky white discharge. Towards the end my vagina started feeling really hot, I would put a nice pack near it to relieve the pain. I was also told to bathe with baking soda it really helped for a while.

You literally are describing me, I've been stressing anxiety you name it. I sometimes even cry !
I think I have theses tiny lesions on my skin from scratching so much that the skin just got so raw and irritated. It never goes away and becomes worst after or before my period is when I really notice it. It isn't really visible at all. But once I start itching it becomes raised and little bumps like hives show up. In the morning I wake up with so much discharge dried on my my labia.
What are some things you used to treat it?

Was it always there and sometimes just flared up?

Well I was itchy all over but yeah I would scratch on a specific area and it got all red and irritated. I went to planned parebthood and had a dr there look at it, she said that it's from me scratching it constantly she assured me that it was caused by the yeast. You may have a hard time getting rid of the yeast since it's been untreated for so long. There are yeast infection medications at the store near the condom section but honestly I recommend that you go to a dr and tell your dr that it's been untreated for a long time. The dr will put you on some pills that is stronger than the creams that you can get at the store.

It only flared up when I scratched. My yeast infection didn't want to leave so I would get it treated then after at most a week it would come back. Honestly I think that you have a yeast infection and vaginitis which is basically what I had. Try to calm down, your dr may even prescribe something for your anxiety. Calming down is key. And trust me I know how hard that is. I had so many people telling me to calm down but it's easier said than done.
