What Causes Rawness With White Discharge On Labia Minora?

My labia minora is raw and there is a white discharg(?)...have been on 4 antibiotic for UTI but it always feels like I am being cut with a knife when I urinate. There is no cottage cheese like I would normally get from antibiotics and no itching. The skin is white-ish and raw looking.

Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I
would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to
reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three (
bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. As you
have mentioned that you have already taken treatment for vaginitis, i would
suggest that you now consult your gynaecologist for further treatment as
excessive use of all drugs will make the causative organism resistant
which will make it even harder to cure.

The treatment for recurrent infection may require medicines for a longer
period of time.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton
undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if
you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
