Yeast Infection lesions

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.

Yep that seems like a really bad yeast infection. Please get it treated!! You mom will understand if you tell her that you need to see a dr for a yeast infection. Any woman can get one you don't have to be sexually active. Please get it treated, it will only get worse. I'd tell you to get the over the counter stuff but honestly at this point it will only hurt you more than resolve the issue because you have parts that are not healed. You are going to need the prescribed stuff.
