so I believe that I have a bad yeast infection. all the symptoms of one but everytime i treat it over the counter it comes right back. Im going to the doctor about that but...Ive had a slight itch and after the shower i noticed a little red in that area but when i felt, it felt a little raised in that area so i took a look...hard to see so i shaved the area...what i see is very small raised area...not sure if i'd call then "bumps" because when the skin is streched it almost doesnt even look raised. its a striaght line of what looks to be three. its a little red and glossy looking. doest hurt, doesnt ooze, itches in that area a bit. what is this???? herpes??? irriations from a yeast infection? i dont shave so it cant be that...plz lend advice.

11/27/06 update. Went to the doctor and everything was fine had BV not a yeast infection (no wonder the over the counter products didnt work). so anyway my concern was about that rash I described before...as I stated it went away the day after I noticed it so I had nothing to show the doc. She examined me and said she saw nothing unusal...im still curious though. she assured me that if it was herpes it would NOT have disappeared that aburptly, also that there would have been larger "bumps" than what I had described. she told me the only way to accurately test would be to scrape the lesions (which I did not have)....im not trying to be overly dramatic but I would hate to have something like that and it be dormit and then 10 years later they say I have it! plz lend advice??? because everytime I typed in "vaginal rash" herpes popped up via the internet.
PS. I havent used any purfumed soaps, detergents,pantyliners,pads...etc. and I only wear cotton brief undergarments.

The red bumps could have been irritation from yeast. Best to see a DR just to be sure.
A good book to get to help with these little mysteries of the female body, is "The V book" it goes into detail about many of the things that go on with our bodies.

Hard to say what it could be, but it shouldn't be ignored or use home remedies on it.
Best that you see a doctor.
I have herpes and it sort of sounds like it, but don't worry if it is, it's not the end of your sex life.

what kind of laundry soap do you use?
you could be allergic to this detergent if you switched laundry soap lately.
in fact your allergic condition might not show up in a long time or it could show up in a couple of days. depending upon your system.
