What Causes Swelling In The Urethra And Itching In Vulva?

About 2 weeks ago I started having itchiness in my vulva on the skin beside my clit. I would also feel some pain in my clit that felt like it was being scratched by pubic hair. I went and had all the hair waxed but it didn t help. I would wake up at night scratching like crazy. I felt like I was hurting myself just from the intense scratching. During the day it wasn t so bad. Over a week later I went to the drs and she prescribed canesten treatment for a yeast infection. She also took a urine sample and there was no infection but she said there was a little blood in it. I jokingly said it s probably blood from all the scratching. The evening after my first canesten treatment I noticed I had some bumps down there. Not clustered. Not small. They didn t look like blisters. I wondered if they were from scratching myself so bad. I did the 2nd treatment and went from being itchy to being in pain. My clitoris was really sore to touch and the bumps hurt. When I pee it burns going over them. Now it is 5 days since I saw dr. And the bumps are still there and still painful. They look the same colour as the skin down there and they all have a little indent in them. I also feel like my urethra is a little swollen. I have normal discharge. I ve been googling my symptoms like crazy. It sounds a lot like herpes but I ve been with the same man for 25 years. He has cancer and has been going through chemo/rad and has a catheter in and we haven t even had sex since August. I will be seeing a dr. again soon but we are away on vacation right now. Any ideas would be helpful.

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having yeast infection and now due to itching there might be having secondary bacterial infection giving this problem.
Continue applying canesten cream.
Apply antibiotic cream as well.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Take tablet Cetrizine or Benadryl for itching.
Keep local part clean and healthy.
Ok and take care.
