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.

One thing that I learned from my horrible yeast infection experience is that stressing only makes it worse. I started drinking St. John's wort tea it help with my anxiety. I was a wreck I would cry out of no where. Once I started to calm down, I felt lightly better. But you also need to get this medical treatment for the yeast. Oh and there is this other condition of the vagina that gives all sorts of problems similar to your issues, it's called vaginitis

Hi I'm 26. I had the exact mind set as you when I was going through girly problems! I thought that since I wasn't careful before and I had touched the cold sore in the shower as well then cleaned myself that I could have passed it to myself. I was freaking out really badly about it. But the good news is it is almost impossible to get it that way because your body has the antibodies already. Also the cold sore virus won't last for months. If you have been suffering for months it is definitely not the virus. Again it sounds more like a yeast infection that was never treated.

How old are you? I'm still kind of scared because of the shower cold sore thing. I touched the cold sore but it was wet from water and my finger was also wet and I went to touch my genital (not thinking I know I'm dumb) but I think even more water hit my finger. This may seem stupid but I'm just so scared please reply back

Thank you so much, you have no idea how thankful I am that I'm not the only one ! Did the area not really heal for you too? Did it flare up sometimes and go away? How did your discharge look like?

Oh and don't work about it being herpes type 1. I had the same scare!! I was assured many times that it was not the cold sore virus! Check out my 2011 posts. I had a bad yeast infection. I was really stressed out about it and that only made it worse.
