Hello ma'am.

The appearance of ulcers or sores could raise some concern, and in your case could show signs of a misdiagnosis.

I would urge you to either revisit your doctor and request for a vaginal swab culture investigation or visit another doctor for a second opinion.

As you have not provided your sexual status to me, it does make things a little difficult, but make surr you discuss the same with your doctor. If the vaginal swab test does not report anything conclusive then request for a urine culture and sensitivity examination which will help in finding the most suitable antibiotic to rapidly and accurately rid you of the infection.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
