I have a weird thing that is down there, and I think it's a yeast infection but I am not sure. It bleeds a little bit and there is a smallish mediumish bruise that is purple and black near it.

And how do I get rid of it?

By the way it doesn't hurt, it's a little itchy though...

A yeast infection is evident by vaginal discharge. It is not a thing that looks like a bruise.
The "bruise" if it has always been there is a mole or a freckle or something.
If the "bruise" is new.. it could be a boil or a pimple, ingrown hair follicle or sommat. No big concern unless it get's infected and then it is painful. Is it painful? Dab a bit of antiseptic cream on it (not your vagina ~ on the bruise looking thing).... re-appy every three hours or so and leave it alone other than that for a couple of days to see if it goes away.

Well, I'll tell you one thing, it would be a cold day in hell before I'd go to an ER and spread out my personality and just gingerly ask "What's This!"
Seriously, get thee to a Gynecologist. They specialize is all manner of "what's this's" and if you describe what you just did here to a qualified receptionist or nurse, they'll set you an appointment and then all your fears will be alleviated. In the meantime, you'll get all scared and worried. It ain't worth it. Just make that call and get on with it. Could be something really, really simple but NO that's NOT a yeast infection. Could be a simple mole that has changed character, or skin wart but either way, it needs a qualified checking out. Okie dokie.

A yeast infection is NOT a "thing down there." It sounds like you have some kind of VD, or possibly a cyst, and you need to go to a doctor immediately.

This is not a yeast infection by any means. This sounds to me like a brown recluse spider bite. Go to an urgent care center or an ER. If that is what it is, it's very serious. I don't mean to scare you, but this must be looked at asap.

Obviously not a yeast infection. But if you shave down there, it could be an ingrown hair. Otherwise, it's quite possibly an std or vd...although typically there is more than one in that case. You should see a dr. soon, but my best guess is ingrown hair... they can get kinda nasty. Good luck

This does not sound like a yeast infection.
Unless you have been engaging in very rough sex, causing bruising and tearing - then this needs a Dr's opinion FAST!
