Is it yeast infection bumps or something else?

So just within the last three days I’ve noticed these small bumps (see photo) only on one side of my vagina. They started out very small and red and they seem to have scabbed over but they aren’t hard and they look like they’re healing. I believe I have a yeast infection because it feels like the last time I had one. it’s slightly painful to urinate (just because of the irritated spots), itchy, red, and lots of white discharge with little to no smell. I just bought the same treatment that I got for my last one and that’s Monistat seven day treatment and see if it goes away then. But before I start that I figured I’d come here and ask a couple questions about it. I really don’t know what the spots are and is driving me crazy. anything helps!

EDIT: It feels to be getting better and isnt a "scab" anymore. it just looks like a pink spot and one of the 3 have disappeared. no other spots have appeared anywhere else. I began a treatment with Monistat 7-day.

    Hi isabella32799

    Yeast infections can be more then just Itching and redness and discharge

    There may be severe redness, swelling, and itching, leading to skin fissures or sores.

      That put my mind at ease! i did research some more on yeast infection blisters and sores and this is for sure it. The sore spots have since leveled out and are flush with the surrounding skin and are not raw anymore. All other irritation has since stopped and no more redness or swelling. Very interesting to see that happen, it for sure didnt happen with my last infection and that was absolute hell! and im glad the monistat seems to be helping heal the blister. Thank you for the reply!
