Hey,

A few weeks ago I had a white "rash". It went away within a few days. It didn't hurt, it was just a bit irritated and itchy. I don't have a photo of it but i found this pic in the internet. It looked exactly the same. I could'nt wipe the white stuff of. Could this be herpes? I have no idea what it was. Has anyone had something like this?

    it could be cytolitic vaginosis which is the opposite of a yeast infection. it's when theres no yeast present, but it causes identical symptoms of a yeast infection. it can turn your skin white, and eventually peels away on its own.

    I have never heard about cytolitic vaginosis. Is it dangerous? Has anyone had this?

    Does this not look like herpes?

      I had this for 4 days now, mine looks worst than this since i've scratching it so hard which makes it tears, and basically the entire vaginal area have this white stuff stick to my skin but i can't rub it off, but after i see what it looks like now, i stopped touching and just leave it to go away on it's own.

    I'm still concerned about it. I've never got a diagnosis and I'm so scared that it's herpes. I did an IgG blood test for HSV 1 and 2 and it was negative for both types. I have heard that these tests are very inaccurate, that's what is making me very scared. I am sexually active with my bf but he was a virgin before we got together. So if it is herpes I am having this for at least 2 years.

    Has anyone advice for me? I don't know what to do. I've been worried for the past 7 month... I really need answers.

      hey lina, this comment really caught my attention, i been struggling with the same for the past year, i got my first infection and i had white fluid that would not come off the walls, my doctor said it was candida, i took fluconazole, and it went away, then i got it again a couple months after, and i took another fluconazole, the look was gone but i still felt uncomfortable down there, i got blood, urine, and cultivation test, everything came out negative, so i stopped worrying, recently i had intercouse and im having the same issue, very strange but im taking a herpes 1 and 2 test tomorrow because it hasnt cleared my doubt.

    I had the same experience almost.. this past sunday i noticed white bumps and white thick clumpy patches around my vagina hole. but it didnt hurt at all. it just itched. i went to the clinic the next day, and she look at it and notice a small lesion, she said it the white stuff is caked on, but she took a sample of it. she said with herpes its onset pain for an intial outbreak. but i didnt feel any pain. it just felt like a yeast infection. i took all the test, i get my results back next week, in the mean time she gave me prescription of antibiotic to treat it as "if "it was diagnosed with herpes with yeast infection medication. She will call me today. ..from Sunday to today, the symptoms havent changed, like the itching. i dont feel no pain still. tuesday morning i scraped off the thick white coating on my inner labia and it came off. then hoped in the show. i took the antibiotics afterward. From taking the antibiotics it doesnt look as bad as sunday. it just feels like something around my hole is hardening. but no pain. jyst itch when i walk. then i saw a bump by my anus this morning, but it doesnt hurt either. it just it. thats freaking me out .
