I get yeast infections quite often, so when i had these usual symptoms i didnt second guess it. for the past week or 2 i had thick white chunky discharge and swollen/irritated vulva. I took a flucanozole tablet (for yeast infections) 3 days ago and the discharge is definitey improving and has gotten thinner but my vagina is still feeling irritated. the itch was unbearable and i ended up scratching it pretty hard this morning and caused some swelling 😦 it hurt all day and when i was about to shower at night i noticed some red bumps/rashes) could this be herpes? i had unprotected sex with a new partner about a month ago. (no sex since then) i am making an appointment to get tested asap. the first picture is how it looked and the second picture is 3 hours later. you can see its improved a bit. im paranoid if i have herpes though, ive lost sleep over this, help !!!imageimage

    most likely from scratching, dont worry about it the tablet can take up to 7 days for symtpoms to subside. if the bumps break into sores thats typical of herpes but to me just looks like rash or scratching irritation.
