I think I have something

I haven't had sex in well over a year..... More like 3 or 4. But I've been seeing someone for a while now and recently we had sex unprotected. We haven't done anything for about two weeks now, our schedules just haven't allowed us to. Yesterday I started itching really bad near my lady parts. Not inside, just around the top and the lips. Today the area is worse. It's pretty painful like tiny needles poking me constantly and burns a little. Not when I pee just the area. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday which is 5 days from now but my nerves aren't going to survive that long. Normally I would assume that it's from a recent trip from getting waxed but since I'm sexually active it worries me. Any ideas on what I should do until my appointment. I haven't told the guy yet because I want to be sure. But this pain, OMG, this pain.

     There's nothing for sure, but your symptoms sound like genital herpes or a vaginal yeast infection. Both accompany with itching, burning and pain.While herpes is present with herpes sores, yeast infection is only very itching and burning. If you have herpes, tiny bumps may occur in that area later. Or not, you could have vaginal yeats infection. However, because of unprotected sex, you can be put at risk of herpes. Watch out your symptoms if having any blisters.

    Sounds like herpes. Go to an Urgent Care Clinic and get it check out.
