Yeast infection sores on the outside of my vagina

Posted , 5 users are following.

Has anyone ever experienced sores as a result of thrush? I have been having recurrent/persistent thrush for the past 3 months, it got so bad a few weeks ago that i ended up with a severe skin reaction (rash that then looked like blisters) on the area that came in contact with my discharge. Which resulted in open an open sore. some of the pictures I have seen made me think it is herpes, but the nurse said it seems like an irritation of the skin rather than herpes considering my symptoms. The internal vaginal swabs they took came back clear, and i have been put on 7 day fluconazole course. if it doesn't clear the doctor has asked me to come back to repeat the tests. i have had all the usual symptoms of thrush, but its not as itchy these days. If anyone has had anything like this please let me know how you are coping

    I'm going through the same thing and I was wondering what did you do to help it heal or what helped soothe the irritation because I have already taken a 3-day dose of fluconazole. Are there any ways to keep the discharge from irritating the skin?
