    Sorry to be graphic but what other symptoms do you have that makes you think it is a yeast infection? its quite rare to get sores like that through thrush, the main symptom is severe itching and a thick discharge. i would probably get those sores tested to put your mind at ease! ring your doctor for advice X

    the sores look similar to herpes sores when they first begin. are they sore and painful, do they seem to be getting worse? bathe the area with cotton wool dipped in dilluted tea tree oil to speed up healing! do you live in the UK? theres websites where you send the images to an online doctor and they can mail you out the antibiotics that they think you need. its a good way to get treatment at the moment since doctors and clinics arent running as usual. Try not to worry x

    Do you have any other indications or symptoms that you have an STI? From the photos it seems more likely that this is a case of razor burn. I would stop shaving/waxing and refrain from any other forms of hair removal and see if that helps. Additionally stop using any products specifically marketed for vaginal or vulva cleansing (like Adam and Eve wash) . If you still see bumps or develop any other symptoms consult your PCP or certified NP for further assistance.
