My privates are really really swollen and sore. It started out the day i got my period with just itching, and i've had thrush before so i wasn't worried. Then, it continued for a week until my period finished, still itching. I still wasnt that worried because it felt like it was going away. After this, it started really itching and started hurting and getting quite raw. Within 3 days i couldnt walk and i can't sleep because the pain keeps me awake. i apply cream like canesten or bepanthen (because i ran out) everytime i wake up and also use a cream that you apply inside, but it doesnt seem like it's getting any better. It is soo unbelievably and ubearably sore. My mum said that i might have boils, but when i looked i couldn't see any yellow bits which is the indication of boils. My labia is really swollen and has little red bits but it arent boils, and around my vagina opening it is really swollen and really raw and hurts so bad. It is starting to spread around to my bum hole. I know that it isn't herpes because i havent had sex for 3 weeks and my boyfriend that i have been with for a year hasnt got anything and when one of us gets a cold sore, we dont do any oral contact with anything. I'm just wondering if this is still thrush or if it something else? I am really worried now it has been really bad for a week and it doesnt seem to be improving.
*I heard yoghurt helps but i haven't tried this yet. Also sitting in a bath with about 20 drops of pure tea tree oil seems to help the pain but only for the amount of time that i am in the bath.
