Took Monistat For Swollen And Burning Vaginal Lips. Why Does It Itch? What Can I Do?

I m 18 years old and started out by having this extreme itching sensation followed by swelling of the outer lips of my vag(sorry I don t know the proper lingo) they increased to swell and burn to the touch until I took monistat three then it all went away..until a week later. I then started having these stabbing sensations of burning and itchiness and this time little white clusters have shown themselves. I know it s not herpes because my sister was just diagnosed with it around the same time I started these symptoms and I could walk and move in directions she couldn t without feeling the pain. At first they looked sort of like little pimples but then it began to spread and get soft(i even was able to rub one white spot off of my skin with no pain but the others dont rub off easily, but im not gonna go and rub really hard to get them off either)they don t hurt when I touch them but they are extremely bothersome and the swelling of my lips run up against my underwear and is very irratated. I ve looked everywhere on the Enternet and can t find anything similar please give me some advise. I just recently went to the gynecologist for testing but it s a week later and I m tired of waiting for results!
