Hi guys - can someone please help me out- what is this? My period is also 6 days late, not sure if it affects it. Is this a yeast infection? Ive never had it before.

    If it itches like crazy then yes it probably is a yeast infection. You should be able to buy a first line treatment for this in your chemist/pharmacy. Look for Canesten which should comprise one vaginal pessary which you insert as high as possible in the vagina and also one tube of cream for external use around the vulva. Use it all. If no better then you need to see a doctor for a more intense treatment. This is very common. A late period shouldnt cause this but could you be pregnant?
