so ive had a really bad yeast infection for the last week and i half (my first yeast infection ever.) ive been using monistat and its starting to clear up. its been super itchy and ive been trying not to scratch it with my nails but i have been rubbing really hard and fast trying to relieve the itchy sensation. im not sure if i have s rash from friction and rubbing or if it is herpes. it burns when i touch it but there not really any buring when i pee and theres no fluid . the red marks are slightly raised and super swollen and ive had dryness. ive had the same sexual partner for 10 months and hes my only partner but i might not be his... is this herpes? i havent had any symptoms of herpes(fever, burning urination, discharge or ulcers) but im not sure what else it could be! please help im freaking out! i dont know much about sexual health because no one was comfortable talking to me about it so i see bumps and automatically assume herpes... i also did a quick shave yesterday so idk if its razor burn or not PLEASE HELP im freaking out and the earliest appt i could get was the 29th of this month 😦imageimageimageimage

    It just looks like youve been scratching too much. Try boric acid suppositories you can get them at cvs or walmart. They will help a lot before your appt. Make sure to read instructions bc theyre inserted into your vagina not taken orally.
