Help! On March 9 I went to have a brazilian wax for the first time (I'm not sure how relevant this is to the problem). Then I had sex almost everyday with my fiance (whom I have not seen for awhile because he was abroad) for the 2.5 weeks that we were together for his vacation. April 6 was our last sexual contact and, after a week, I noticed some itching (I have not been with anyone ever but him. not so sure about who he has had sex with when we were apart but he swears he was faithful, although we have been apart for a while-- 6 months- so there's reason to question that part :-/ ). Then the itching spread after a few hours. When I looked "down there" I noticed that both outer and inner lips were red. I had been scratching it but not vigirously. After a couple of days, I started to feel pain. When I looked again, I found 2 small sores, about 1/5 cm in diameter in the inner labia. They hurt with friction and when touched and they cause the affected labia to swell to twice its normal size. I haven't gone to my gyno, which I know I should. Anyway, The sores died down after 9 days, but then I started to itch again today and I noticed chafing and cracked skin/sore without puss in the outside labia near my anus. It hurts when I wipe. I also noticed that my whole vaginal area, including the adjacent areas are kind of dry and kind of thick looking. I need help, please! Thanks in advance.
BTW, I am not under any medication, we did not use condoms, I have topically applied zinc oxide that helped a little with the itching, but did not eliminate it completely. I'm afraid I might have and STD/STI and, if it's herpes, then there really is no cure. Also, My period is coming in a couple of days, I have read that this exacerbates the problem if it is herpes or candidiasis. I forgot to mention that I have has discharges but in great amounts, both clear and sort of whitish with a hint of yellow. It might also help to mention that we were/I am on vacation to a very hot and humid tropical country, and I have worn my share of non-cotton undies (bathing suits) as of late. I have also been recently under a lote of stress, hence the vacation. Anyway, I NEED to know if others have gone through this and what they did to get better other than going to the doctor right off the bat. Thanks again!
Actually, i'd see a doctor and get it checked out asap, since there're many conditions and diseases share common symptoms and your condition sounds kinda serious. For your problem, i would consider things ranging from yeast infection to stds. Oh, you may google "99eyao", I know this website provides online service for free, maybe you could consult the online doctors for more profesional suggestions.
Hope you're fine.
