I'm 21, not had sex in 3+ months, always safe.
This has been going on for a week now, started off just general soreness after an admittedly vigorous masturbation. Then after a few days it started to burn my vagina when I urinated. I looked down there and I couldn't see anything, so I assumed it was a UTI (not that I've ever had one before) and tried to flush it out.
A day or two later, I noticed sores on the inside of my labia minora; on one side it looked like little dents in the flesh, generally roundish like little holes.
One the other side the small holes had a greenishwhite substance over them. Substance is very much attached.
Since then, the side without the substance has got the greenwhite stuff over the holes as well now.
The holes don't hurt to the touch, but the whole labia feels uncomfortable and irritated. In the last two days I've also noticed the labia is also quite swollen but numb.
I was also on my period at the beginning of the week, and found it very hard to get tampons in (it was as if my gspot wall was swollen). I haven't noticed any discharge, in fact I've been very dry down there in general. I've also been a bit nauseous on and off recently.
Basically, I'm getting really upset and stressed out about this. It doesn't seem to be getting better and the soonest appointment I could get at the GUM clinic was Monday afternoon. It's sore and hurts to move, to walk, and I just want to know what it's likely to be, or if there's anything I can do between now and Monday to soothe it.
Thank you to anyone who can help, or reassure me or anything at all. I can also post pictures (because the amount I care about my vagina being on the internet is a lot lower than the amount I want to BE BETTER) if that could help/isn't against the rules. Also, I promise I will keep this post updated for anyone else who ever finds themselves with similar symptoms, so at least someone else has a chance to work out what this is with a google search.

General Update:
I took two asprin, placed a tampon dipped in yoghurt inside me for two hours and iced the swollen labia on and off for that time.
It genuinely seemed to help; the area did not hurt and the effect lasted hours (It was 8pm when I was done, but I didn't feel sore and horrible again until this morning (5am).
Having had a look in the morning, it appears the greenishwhite stuff has gone from one side of my labia and lessened on the other, however, the holes are still evident and it's also burning when I pee again, and difficult to put in tampons (tried to redo the yoghurt treatment to no avail).
I'm not sure if this suggests I have a yeast infection, or a first time herpes outbreak or genital warts.
General Update:
Doctor's tomorrow so hopefully I can finally get this sorted. The area is still a little swollen, still some of the greenwhite in places, but it's unpainful/not uncomfortable. However, having a lot of very watery discharge, and it still hurts my labia minora very much to pee. Just trying to keep hydrated today, hopefully reducing the acidity of my urine will calm the burning a bit.
I can't believe it's been over a week. I'm trying to keep chipper about it, but I'm seeing my partner in 8 days and I really, really wish I knew what was wrong with me/was on the way to getting better/treating it/acting accordingly/anything.
Did you ever fine out what it was or did it go away because I am having a similar problem but it is a single large spot on one side. I'm starting to get very sore and dry as well.
