      I recently got off my cycle I have a pinkish color cover my labia and inner butt and burning and slight itching. it does not burn to pee. My doctor said its not herpes and its yeast. I took a blood test to be 100% sure.

      with your symptoms it does sound like a yeast infection. Did it occur before your period or after ? i know you just got off your cycle but was your vagina swollen as it looks ? are you treating it right now ?

      it occured after my cycle. the same thing happened in march as well after my cycle. im not sure if it is from my pads or not? It was swollen thursday and yesterday but it is now better. still a little irritation. my bf hasnt stepped out on me and neither have I. I got a blood test for herpes because ive never been tested for it. I found this webpage thursday and cant stop thinking I have herpes.

      has sores, lesions or any type of cuts appeared ? i highly doubt it is and judging from the picture i dont see anything resembles them. You might have caused irritation from your pad if your flow has been heavy and you wore it longer than normal. Has your discharged scent change to a more fishy smell ?

      ok so no visible fissures at the moment and discharge is normal. i think you have nothing to worry about honestly. Unless you have open sores or bumps on your vagina or vulva you are ok.
