Irritated minora labia

Posted , 3 users are following.

So a little back story:

I went to my PCP at the end of January because I was having some vagina irritation and itching. I thought maybe I had a yeast infection. I was swabbed and my results came back showing bacterial vaginosis and some yeast. I was treated with an antibiotic and diflucan.

At the end of February, I went to my gyno for my annual. I always get tested for almost everything while being there. My results came back positive for ureaplasma. I have been taking antibiotics for the past 7 days and just finished them yesterday. On Thursday (3/5) I was taking a shower and was somewhat irritated down there and it has since continued. When I got out, I examined myself and noticed that my labia minora was very red on one side. I don't believe that it was swollen, just very red. Now almost everytime I use the bathroom and wipe, it is painful. I don't notice a cut or any bumps, although my area is not the smoothest down there, it is somewhat textured. It is just red and painful when touched. Before this happened it had been about a week since having sex, so there wasn't any trauma from that. I thought maybe the soap I used irritated me, although it has never happened before.

Any ideas of what this could be? I am hoping that it is not herpes since I do not see an actual bump/blister.
