Hi! Ive had a yeast infection for about 2 months on and off (monistat and pills aren't working) Im seeing my gyno in a few days but im terrified. every time i have a yeast infection i get rashes and cuts (i have veryyyyyy sensitive skin) and they always go away after i put on creams. I put cream on this area earlier this morning but it has rubbed off throughout the day and now is super irritated again and is painful when i walk a ton. ive been itching nonstop these past few days and not sure its its just dry and irritated or herpes.image

    hey, have the sores started to blister over? have you got any other symptoms like a headache etc?

      Update: I got blood work and swabbed on the area (herpes culture) for testing, and it all came back negative! It turned out just to be a really bad yeast infection that left some torn skin from itching a ton!
