Please help. I'm a 14 year old girl, I started masturbating at around 12 (yes I know, not my best idea) and I think I have thrush. I don't know whether the two are related, but I have extreme itching down there, it's red and sore, and the outer lips are swollen. I have badly broken skin inbetween the outer lips, and very bad broken skin between my vagina and anus. I have thrush cream (canesten) but I've read I shouldn't use it if I have broken skin. I don't know what to do?!
