Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Folliculitis
I've been diagnosed with vaginal foliculitis but I'm worrying because is it similair to herpes. I have a blister on my clitoris and it's so sore to urinate. Also red sores on the inside lip of my vagina and outside with severe discharge coming from everywhere. There is also pain and swelling around my vagina I'm in such pain with Infection basically. My doctor said he's convinced it's foliculitis from waxing as I have all hair removed and has put me on flagyl yesterday. There is a slight improvement but it's still sore. Is that normal only a slight improvement? I also have a septic throat ATM and what looks like a cold sore on my lip and chin. I'm very run down but have NEVER experienced this before down below. Never!! Not have I ever had a cold sore on my mouth but my doc says that's part of the infection from my throat. What should I do. Is it definately foliculitis?

thanks for posting your query to HCM.
Your history of removing hair , large amount of discharge ,pain and swelling goes in favour of follliculitis. but folliculitis is formed at base of hair root and from here it can spread to near part .
you need to do one thing
1 collect the discharge/pus and send it to microbology lab for microscopy, culture and sensitivity examination .
this test will guide you about nsture and cause of infection.
I do not suspect it as Herpes infection because plenty of discharge is not feature of herpes .
you need to consult a gynecologist for taking treatment .
meanwhile you can take Aceclophenac 100mg and Serratiopeptidase 10mg orally for symptomatic releief .
review me with investigation report .
take care .
