i noticed two days ago that my vagina lips are swollon, its a little itchy and red, and today i noticed that they are peeling, my partner and i have had sex for over a month and a half because he is away, ive been with him for a year and we have both been tested and cleared. Is it just thrush? I have had thrush before but with different symtoms,like really itchy and lots of discharge. I know u well say go to hte doctors but i really hate going to the doctors.....is it bad if i just start treating it as thrush?
