Yeast Infection??Herpes??... (Cuts on Vagina)

One night about a year ago I was sleeping but kept having an urge to scratch (down there). The next morning I awoke and headed to the bathroom as usual. I noticed a very irritating &burning sensation when i urinated. I immediately grab a mirror to see what was going on down there. I noticed only one small cut in the crease right above my clitoris. I didnt panic rite away because i had been practicing sex safe and it had been over a yr and a half since i had last had sex without a condom. I made an appt to see a doc the next day. Doc told me that there wasnt anything to worry about that i was from a yeast infection. A year has passed btw then and now. 3 months ago i began to notice that I had an odor with a cheesy lite yellow discharge. Also i had been experiencing extreme dryness during sex. I didnt know what was wrong. I went to the doc and had STD testing. Me and my bf ALWAYS used condoms so i didnt think it was an STD but i had to make sure. All tests were negative. I had been going to the doc for 3 months trying to figure out what was wrong. I was nerve wrecked! My doc even prescribed me Antibiotics in hopes that it would stop the problem. But it didnt. 2 days ago, problem still present, me and my bf were having protected sex but it hurted so bad that I had to tell him to stop. (I had also shaved the nite before). The next morning off to the bathroom I go. I experienced the same irritating and burning sensation as I had once before. I checked myself out in the mirror and discovered that I had three cuts. 1 on my perineum (area between vagina opening and anus) and the other 2 on both surrounding sides on my lower labia major (outter lips). I also noticed blood spots on the toilet tissue. Again i didnt panic. I went to the doc and explained my findings. Immediately after looking at my cuts she told me that it looked like Herpes. I was caught completely off guard. She did some type of Viral Culture. She told me that the results would be back in by Wednesday (which is 2 days away). She wrote me a prescription for something called Acylovir and something else called Clindamycin (correct spelling??) and told me that I could wait for the results before i filled the prescription. Im really nervous about the results. Ive kinda come to terms with having herpes and im not freakin out as much as I thought i would. I hope that her guess was wrong and that my results come back NEGATIVE. Herpes is not something that I am ready to deal with.

Ill post results as soon as i get them!

I would just try to take it easy and not stress to much until you get the results...It may not even be herpes, it could be something as simple as an allergic reaction to something in the condom, washing powder you use, or even to your panties. Keep us updated. Good luck
