Help ! I thought it's a yeast infection.
Posted , 5 users are following.
It started 6 days ago with an itching and burning of the vagina and labia then a thrush started coming out it was white cottage cheese like. So i thought it was a yeast infection and i got an anti-fungal cream for a minute it felt better.
The next day the symptoms got worse so i called me doctor and he said i should take fluconazole.
And it didn't help yet. And today my labia got red and swollen so bad and now i have these bumps on my labia which is scary. I'm afraid it might be an STD and i can'
t let my parents find out about that. So someone help please.

When is the last time you had sex? Was it protected? Any oral received? Any flu like symptoms or swollen lymph nodes in your groin?
As a precaution, avoid touching it with your bare hands. You will be ok either way! What area of the world do you live in so I can suggest where you might be able to be seen?

The timeline and accompanying symptoms do sound like this is a herpes outbreak. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the healthcare system in the middle east, do you have a primary care physician you can visit? You'll want to have the sores swab tested and typed to confirm if this is herpes, and you'll want to get started on antivirals right away. If this winds up not being herpes, though again it does sound like it, no harm done if you've taken antivirals for a short period of time. Herpes is incredibly common, there's no need to be alarmed. Start with a visit to the doctor and go from there. Remember that herpes cannot be diagnosed visually alone, request a swab test as well.

Hi Sara,
You will want to get it tested within the first 2 days. As I have been told by doctors, after that it begins to heal and it can not be detected as easily.
I'm no professional, but from the image it does not appear to resemble genital herpes, however you are experiencing some of the symptoms.
Good luck!
