sore vagina, swollen.

i am a virgin, and 2 days ago i noticed very painful sores on one of my outer lips, it is also very swollen and feels quite hard, this outer lip is alot bigger than the other, so the sores rub against my underwear when i walk or sit down. The sores are hard and a creamy colour. I also have painful sores around the bottom of my vagina and the opening is also very swollen. It generally feels itchy and sore and it is painful to walk, sit down and urinate. I am not sexually active so i cant think what it could be, please help i am in alot of pain and discomfort.

Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria, a type of germ commonly found on the skin or in the nose of even healthy individuals. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or result in relatively minor skin infections.

But staph infections don't always remain skin-deep. In some circumstances, they may invade your bloodstream, urinary tract, lungs or heart.

Severe staph infections usually occur in people who are already hospitalized or who have a chronic illness or weakened immune system. But it is possible for otherwise healthy people to develop life-threatening staph infections.

Sounds like you have a staff infection. I have had one there before and it will go away by its self but I f you want to you can go to the doc to have it check but I think that what it is. Look up Merca or Mersa It will explain it to you. You can get this by going to the bath room in public places or walking around in town and touching stuff then touching your self. It is extremely contagious. Good luck.
