Question: Hello, A few weeks ago, I was outdoors at a party and I began to get hot, sweat, and noticed a sweaty smell coming from my vaginal area, this has happened before when I have been moving around a lot in the heat, so I wasn't particularly worried about the smell but I didn't want anyone else to begin to notice it. So I sprayed an awful lot of FDS spray, and also some body spray on it. As has happened before about a year ago when I did this and sprayed a lot of the spray in very close proximity to my vagina I experienced the beginning signs of a yeast infection but I could not get to the store right away to buy the yeast infection kit. I did however have some of the anti-itch cream left over that came with a kit I'd bought about 6 months prior. So I began to use the anti itch cream, and I will admit to using it a lot more than it says you are allowed to as the yeast infection itch tends to really bother me. I also scratched it a lot to the point where my labia minora/vulva became red and swollen and also a tiny bump appeared on the labia minora...the outside part of it not the part facing the inside of my vagina. At first I noticed one but then two more bumps as I continued scratching appeared in the next 12hrs. They were all very small, and two of them were about 5 millimeters apart from eachother on the outside of my labia minora and the third was very tiny and didn't seem to itch that bad and was located at the very bottom of my vaginal area. The time before when I used too much of the spray a year ago, I had also noticed a bump but this time three appeared and I had been scratching a lot more and also waited to use the medicine this time. I got concerned and tried to pop them, when I tried it was very hard and I had to eventually use a needle to do it, and small amount of blood came out, and the area was very irritated at this point, but the bump was basically still there but was now sore as I had picked it, before picking they were not really sore. The next day I tried again with my hand to pop it, and again a small amount of blood came out, and it made a bit of a popping sound and fluid which seemed to be clear also came out. The other two bumps popped fairly easily only no blood (I hadn't used the needle) and clear fluid came out. Kind of like what comes out when I squeeze a pimple on my face after the white stuff come out...that is the best way to describe it. Once I began taking the yeast infection medicine I began to feel better at about the same time I always do when I take yeast infection medicine, and the yeast infection seemed to clear up just fine. My skin on my labia peeled as I from the yeast infection. The itching stopped after about three days after taking the yeast infection medicine. I've had this happen peeling happen before when I have scratched yeast infections badly. The labia peeled not only where the bumps were but other areas as well. The labia peeled kind of like how a sunburn would peel. The bumps did not appear to become ulcers but rather were very sore still after I picked them, and looked like pimples do on my face after I have picked them. My concern is though about the bumps! Is this normal or could it be a sign or herpes or some other disease? Did they appear because I scratched and rubbed so persistently or were they due to a reaction from the FDS and body spray sprayed so close to my vagina? I've been very worried that perhaps it's a disease as I've done this to myself twice now. Also: I have had the same boyfriend for 4 years. I also have a girl friend who has tested positive for herpes she is on acyclovir and has never had an outbreak she says. I accidentally put on a pair of her worn wet swimsuit bottoms that looked like mine by mistake. I also have had direct vaginal contact with her on one occasion not lasting more than one or two minutes with no fluid exchange, or so it seemed.

Note: This photo is not me but is a good representation of size and shape. The two most noticeable bumps in the photo appeared to resemble the bumps on my labia almost but not exactly. My bumps were more red. But the larger one did appear more white after I had tried to pop it with the needle. They did not blister or form ulcers or grow larger. They were sore after I picked them but just itched before. After I had pinched and popped them the labia did seem really sore for a few days, but the pain swelling itching etc eased greatly within 3 days of my taking the yeast medicine. I noticed improvement within after the first 24hrs of using the yeast medication Also: the fluid was not always clear...in one of the bumps it appeared to be slightly yellowish in color, but it was mostly clear...kind of like a pimple almost. I was hoping it would not be Herpes? Is there any way it was irritation from the scratching and the spray?
