Possible yeast infection? (warning: includes photo)

Posted , 3 users are following.

A few weeks ago I had some unusual discharge along with itching around and in my vagina, so I went to the Drs and got swabbed (and tested for other STIs) and the lab results came back positive for Candida

Now its two weeks later and I think I'm having another flare up except this time there's no clumpy discharge just a mild (but annoying) itch and some red bumps/rash inside my labia which feel irritated. The bumps/rash are my biggest concern because even though my discharge is normal the bumps keep getting a buildup of white discharge on them- which wipes off pretty easily but they're very sensitive

So I don't know if its another yeast infection or something else?

    did you test for herpes?

      I didn't. I was concerned it was herpes at first but the bumps don't look like blisters or ulcers and I've had no other symptoms that indicate that it could be herpes. The white spots are on other areas inside my vagina too and wipe off easily

      I'm currently taking an antifungal so we'll see if it helps! +I've scheduled an appointment with my Dr this week to get checked out further

      Yeah the inside looks normal, I haven't had any unusual discharge but I did just start my period. The white is collecting around my labia minora and vaginal opening- it comes off easily and looks like yeast discharge
