I've recently been having immense itchiness on my vagina and especially around the lips i also have something that looks like diaper rash and its very itchy and a bit patchy. It's red, but i have no bumps or whatever. I've never had sexual intercourse b4 so i know it not and STD and a few months back I was having the same thing but it wasn't as bad. I went to the doctor to see if i had a yeast infection and the results came back negative, but does that mean i could have it now?

I thought I had a yeast infection so I called my dr for a prescription of dyflucan. But now it's about 5 days later and I am very itchy and still swollen? What can this be?

Posted by BABU on 22/01/2012 at 05:23

Ok kids number one, NEVER EVER have unprotected sex. NEVER EVER have unprotected anal sex. Just the bacteria alone will give anyone male or female an infection. We are talking waste products which will give you a serious infection even if cleaned right away. ALWAYS use a CONDOM. Number 2 go see a doctor with or without your parents. You should be able to go to planned parenthood if you are too embarrassed but it is better to tell your parents if you have a problem than to let some diseases get into later stages as some can kill you like syphillis, etc. If all else fails go to an emergency room or urgent care. Often if you are experiencing a foul discharge from the vagina it is most likely an yeast infection and you can go get some antibiotics to put in it at the drug store. It is called Monostat or Miconazole Nitrate. If you have bubbles or sores of any kind do go see a doctor to make sure it is not herpes simplex or a cyst. If you have a discharge from the penis you MUST go see a doctor to get some anitibiotics. GO NOW OR GO RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT WAIT. If you have a rash around the groin, buttocks and other area it is probably again a yeast infection so use some Lotrimin Spray for at least 2-4 weeks because Candida Yeastis is hard to kill. If you do not treat it (athletes foot it will keep spreading). Tell your parent so they will get you some medicine as it is fairly easy to treat and can be just from active sports and sweating, etc. It can also be from having sex with someone who has it. It is just an imbalance of the bacteria on your skin. You can also use plain yogurt in the vagina lips and on the skin to help restore the Lactobacilli (the other bacteria) and relieve the itching. You should NEVER EVER let a STD or serious problem go UNCHECKED or it can get much worse and make you very ill. Get it checked right away at Planned Parenthood. Tell your parent, trust me they will take you and get you treated. Do not be embarrassed. We all have problems down there from time to time. Bella you are probably having an allergic reaction to your pads, I have similar problems and can get irritated beyond imagination from menstrual pads. Use a warm washrag instead of picking. If you haven't gotten your period DO GO GET A PREGNANCY test from walmart, they are cheap and acurate. If you are pregnant please do the right thing and get help from your parent right away. Especially if someone molested or raped you, report it right away. Johnson go back to the doctor and you need to get more antibiotics before it gets worse. It sounds like you are still infected. You have to take every last antibiotic you get or you create a new stronger infection. When you only take 2/3 of your antibiotics you are not killing all the stronger bacteria and then they get out of control even worse. TAKE ALL ANTIBIOTICS PERSCRIBED. Sarah you may have a cyst, get in right away and find out what is going on. Do not wait. It could be cancerous. Amanda it could be zits or blackheads, it is not uncommon to get acne in your privates or ingrown hairs which can be treated easily. But do get checked in case it is something worse. Optional, check the above paragraph about Monistat and get some vinegar douches and use them once a month. Use plain yogurt in the lips/anus area to relieve itching. If that doesn't get rid of it go back to the doctor. Optional use pure cranberry juice to help make urine burning go away. If there is a urinary tract infection it will help make the bacteria fall out. You must get some antibiotics for the UTI(urinary tract infection) which is very very common in all people. Drink lots of cranberry juice, take cranberry tablets and drink water like crazy for a week. Optional you both have a yeast infection. You can get Monistat, he needs to get antibiotics and you can as well. Optional your penis and innards are hurting because you probably have a UTI. Get some antibiotics and drink lots of cranberry juice. Optional the bumps may be a herpes simplex infection or even a yeast infection you need to go to the doctor asap. Anytime you are bleeding from anywhere and do not see a scratch or are not on your period, do go see a doctor. If you are a girl see an OB/GYN and if you are a boy see a Urologist or general practitioner. tsoo it sounds like a yeast infection, follow the above directions, use some monistat internally and some lotrimin cream and yogurt externally and see your doctor for antibiotics if you can. ITCHING, DISCHARGE, SMELL, BUMPS, RED PATCHES, CIRCULAR PATCHES, BURNING are all signs of common yeast infection but can be other diseases. See your doctor no matter what. Don't be embarrassed it will return many times over a lifetime and we all get it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE SEX TO GET A YEAST INFECTION. IT IS A FUNGAL SKIN INFECTION AND IS NOT ALWAYS RELATED TO SEX. Dave it is possible you have gotten a venereal wart. You can get them burned off by a good doctor. Your wife and you may have HPV a common genital wart http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001889/ you can get them removed but your wife and you must get checked. She is at risk for cancer if she does not know about it. GOT A LUMP OR BUMP, IF IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A ZIT OR BLACKHEAD, AND DOES NOT GO AWAY IN A WEEK, GO SEE THE DOCTOR. IT COULD BE HERPES, IT COULD BE A CYST OR IT COULD BE A GENITAL WART WHICH NEEDS TO BE TREATED BEFORE IT GETS CANCEROUS. DO NOT IGNORE IT. That's all folks. I used to be in nursing and I am a mom of 4 and have been through most of this stuff before in my own life. Hope some of this stuff helped. My kids come to me when they get issues and we take care of them, no need to be scared. Brave up and tell your parents.

Posted by Bella on 02/01/2012 at 07:08

About a week ago I noticed that i had a weird mucusy discharge it smells...normal. sometimes it dries and sticks and it is impossible to get off,literally.When I try to peel it off my skin comes off with it and then I am bloody.For about two days my vagina was swollen and red.It hurts to walk sit or wipe.I noticed this at the end of my peroid.It was worse then because I had to wear a pad.Today,I have noticed that it still hurts,is still red,and I am still having the mucus problem.The funny thing is(well actually not that funny.)that this is all on my lips.A new thing that I have noticed is that i have both of my lips covered with little red,like bubbles.The bubbles are only on the tips of my lips.My outer anus is a little sore, and whenever I have a bowl movement I bleed a little.Two other problems that I am currently concerned about are I have a bowl movement every two or three days and My eyes are red and I have a little more sleep in my eyes than usual.People think it's pinkeye but I don't think so because my eyes do not itch,water,burn,or have any discharge.(Besides extra sleep?)So only one(Maybe two symptoms.)I also noticed the redness does not stay,it is there only like,every other day or at certain times of the day.Also some times my lips feel unusually hard?My left lip is alot longer than my right one although this is normal for me.None of this should be up.Last summer I had a autologus bone marrow transplant for my reoccurance of non hodgkins lymphoma,and so now I take Acyclovir and Bactrum.(antiviral and antibactirial medicene though not sure which is which I just take 'em ;) ) since I am taking these shouldn't there be nothing wrong(?)and yet there is alot wrong.(?):/ Could any of this possibly be linked together?I am afraid that if I keep peeling off the mucus I am going to make an open sore or something and get an infection.(Great.)I am fifteen and I am a vigin,so that ones out of option.Sorry waaay Tmi.Just figured it might help the diagnosis.?Sorry.

Posted by Sarah on 25/11/2011 at 07:04

The other day I noticed something above my clitoris really hurt. I looked and one side of the clitoris shaft was a lot bigger than the other. I felt it and it hurt and it feels like there's something inside of it like a little ball or something. I've never had sex or anything. I don't know what's it is or what happened!

Posted by Amanda on 18/11/2011 at 09:08

I had unprotected sex two weeks ago. A week later I noticed two whitish bumps near back of vagina but not sure if they were there before and when I looked it up the websites seemed to say it was probably fatty tissue. Today I had a bit of discomfort and checked again and noticed one tiny black Mark, not painful or raised and I think there are some slightly raised bumps, same colour as rest of vagina, again not painful at all. I am on holidays for the next week and then will organise to be checked at home but what foes it sound like? Totally freaking out and stressed so any advice or information appreciated.

Posted by Secret on 17/11/2011 at 06:21

Im 19 and I had a yeast infection like 3dys ago. My vagina was itchy and sore irritated as well.. During this time me and my boyfriend had sex..while we had sex my vagina was sore and my bf said it was tighter than normal.Two days later me and my bf, where going to have sex at my house but we decided not because, my vagina was extremely sore, so me and him decided to wait and hold off until later on tht day until I went to his house..So 3 hrs later, I saw my bf and we were about to have intercourse but I just couldn't!!! When I pulled outttt his penis he had clumpy white thick stuff on his penis I knew this wasnt from me.. I thght maybe he had a yeast infection as well bc he did mention his penis itching znd being sore earlier tht day... So I was wondering does he really have a yeast infection or is he cheating on me???????????!!!!!!!!!

Iav been having a creamy discharge which smells of raw eggs i think iam not sure if its bacteria vaginosis or something else. i would like to have some idea before visiting a doctor

Posted by Optional on 01/06/2011 at 08:04

My problem started a few months ago. I experienced severe intense itching with no other symptoms just itching where the pantyline is. I thought it was due to a laundry soap change. It has progressed to intense itching on the surface of my vagina. the itching can last minutes, it is painful, to the touch. I end up tearing the skin and there is also this grayish color to it. when I scratch I see skin peeling, some bleeding and now the area is inflamed bumpy, there might be some blisters but I can't tell if it is, and the skin is tough. with severe itching and the peeling I can't even put water on it it stings the area. it's not an STD, no discharge or foul odor but I noticed I have to shower more often to keep fresh. my doctor saw me and chalked it up to a skin irritation caused by an allergy and gave me an anti itch cream to break the itch/scratch cycle. it is getting worse and I've used vagisil to no avail. I have a steroid cream to stop the itching but it doesn't help at all. I am hoping someone can help!!

Posted by Optional on 25/05/2011 at 07:45

I've been feeling like the tip of my penis is raw feeling or real sensitive irritated feeling . It sometime feels like my stomach is strained feeling . Or like a pain when you need to take a bowel movement . The head of my penis feels kind of sore .Kind of a strained feeling after you ejaculate. What could this be?

Posted by tsoo on 05/05/2011 at 11:37

about 9 days ago, I had sex with my boyfriend since then had intense itching and burning in and around my vagina ... at this point it has developed into itching and a rash ... there are no leisions but it does itch and my labia looks more wrinkled, slightly swollen, the sides of my vagina, like my bikini area is full of rash like patches, red and it itches from time to time ..... i'm worried . i've only slep with my boyfriend and he doesn't have any rash or anything ...i had period after 2 days which made the condition worst..as i had to wear sanitary napkin...and it irritated my skin furthermore...i used neosporin ointment thinking it might help..but i reckon the condition has gone worst..my peri area looks terrible as if it gt burnt by hot water,...

hi, for the past 2 weeks ive been having lots of watery discharge so ive been wearing small pads and when the discharge dries its like a yellow colour and if has this strong smell that no matter what i can always smell and im always wondering if other people can smell it to, after i have sex the whole room smells like it sometimes i think its all in my head but i can really smell it, its soo embarrassing. i find if im mad or stressed there seems to be a little bit of pink bleeding in the discharge as well.. please somebody help ive been checked for std's and sti's and everytime they say everythings fine, i have gone to two different places and both say the same thing. i find it impossible because this is not normal! what could cause this???

I have had a crusty discharge coming from my vagina for quite a while and only recently has smelt really bad, today it was bright yellow and extrememly sharp smelling, very horrible. I also have consistent itching down there. The yellow discharge came a day or so after I had checked myself to see if I had a rash to cause the itching which I don't. Help would be much appreciated.

my husband always says I have a similar smell in the vagina with the fish. Two medical gynecologists have collected samples for laboratory examination of the vagina, and after they told me that I have no infection, which always'm fine, my cervix seems to a teenager, is perfect, great, etc., the survey indicated only a mild inflammatory reaction which is characteristic of menopause. I'm 59, my food is regulated, not nearly as meat, my diet is well balanced. I do hormone replacement with tibolone (2.5 mg), I always cleans well, my husband and I have to fight, because he insisted that the smell is coming from me, do not know what else to do. Could you kindly doctor (doctor) tell me what I can do to eliminate once that smell? I do not know what else to do. Marilia valentim
