What Causes Severe Itching Along With Tiny Lumps On The Vagina?
Hi. So for the past three months I have been suffering serious vaginal itching. I thought it was a yeast infection and did the at home treatment when it didn't go away I went to my obgyn who took a culture and said I had BV. i took antibiotics but the outside of vagina like the labia and vulva are super itchy and irritated with small goober bump Looking bumps my butt is also itchy and irrated. It itches when I pee more. I went back to my obgyn and said it was super irritated but was just from wearing the wrong underwear and using soap she said it could be from a dryer vagina due to birth control. It still hasn't gone away like a month later
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 gynecologist 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.
