Concerned, please help

hi, about 5 days ago my vagina started getting really itchy as well as having a white discharge. I thought this was possibly a yeast infection therefore i got over the counter medicine and have been taking it for a few days. the symptoms are not as pronounced anymore however, i noticed this bump. Any thoughts on what it could be? Ive been driving myself crazy for the past few days.

    Seems like there is a head on the bump, am I correct?

    Looks like a Fordyce spot (which is normal on the skin down there) that has come to fruition (many of mine have done this) ....Is the spot enlarging? Is the spot painful and are there any more appearing?

      This is the only one, its hard to tell, it is just a reddish bump but when i pull back the skin it seems like there might be a head to it. it stayed the same size, but i am still itchy all over. im really hoping its just a fordyce spot or a pimple. But i am extremely worried as i have other symptoms combined.

      Where is the itchiness, internally or everywhere down there?

      What other symptoms do you have?

      itchy internally and external as well. i had a bit of white discharge a few days ago and took some yeast infection medication. The itch is a bit better but its been over 5 days, youd think it would have cleared up. Do herpes itch for days at a time? Its not painful.

      google said the symptoms of herpes and yeast infection are similar so i started looking down there (never examined my vagina so intensely as much as this) and noticed this bump 😕

      It really just looks like a pimple to me to be honest. Thrush can take days to clear, have you tried canestan cream on the external area, would that make a difference?

    • Posted

      yes, the cream helps a bit. im really hoping it is only that and the " pimple" is a coincidence.

      i am seeing my doctor this afternoon, hopefully ill be able to get answers
