Hi guys, its been a few days since my last post asking you guys for help figuring out what is going on with my skin. Today I'm still experiencing very uncomfortable burning on both sides of my labia. A Doctor that i saw said i had a yeast infection and my labia and fordyce spots just looked irritated. She gave me clotrimazole for inside and outside of vagina but honestly doesn't feel like its working if anything just making the skin even more dry and burning than it already was. PLEASE HELP! what can this be???!

      yeah its a medication like monistat that you can insert inside the vagina and on the lips. It's just really frustrating not knowing why my symptoms arent getting better.

    that all looks fine, yes its red but theres no bumps or cut/ ulcers right? also you are aware you have natural fordycr spots which are very small spots across the vagina lips that many people mistake for being something wrong but are very natural.

      Not that i can tell, it would be very painful to rub on it if it was a ulcer or cut right? when i rub it i just get a irritation feeling. Doesn't sting.

    that part of the skin is very sensitive. if theres no ulcers or bumps youre fine. there may be normal fordyce spots all over your vulva which are just glands. i believe you may be overthinking, if you perhaps have thrush i think you should buy a thrush pessary once you stop your period from your nearest pharmacy. once you insert it go straigjt to sleep and then your symptoms shoild hopefully subside because those gels are always effective at killing the actual thrush

    if it was an ulcer / cut it would sting with urination, it would be open/ have a white or bloody centre and it would maybe leak pus or scab over etc. i dont see any cuts or ulcers just red irritates skin, unless you want to send a clearer picture where you see something that resembles a cut.

      No its a cut or ulcer from what i can see and feel but ill keep you updated if that changes (praying it doesn't) . Urinating doesn't sting only thing i would say is it kinda burns from my labia being so irritated but not from cuts/ulcers that pain would be on another level. I'm able to urinate with minimal discomfort.
