the insufferable itch

[velvet-ropes.livejournal.com]

Someone referred me to this comm for help, so here I am.

First of all, I had a yeast infection a month or so ago. It started off with the odor and crusty discharge in my underwear, then after a while of ignoring it, came the horrible itching. So I used Monostat for a while, drank lots of cranberry juice, and the odor and discharge eventually stopped, but since then the itching has only gotten WORSE. It's completely unbearable. I have little bumps here and there on the outside of my vagina (pardon my lack of adequate terminology) where the pubic hair grows, and I'm not entirely sure if they're genital warts; they just feel like ordinary pimples. And I know I can't have an STD because my last sex partner was back in the summer, and he had no STIs/STDs.

Secondly, I recently made some changes to my health insurance, so I can't schedule to see a gynecologist until my new cards come in.

Is there any possible way to relieve the itching until then? I've tried Vagisil, Cortisone, and Itch-X and none of them seem to help any.

you can call the insurance company and get the information that a DR office will need. it sounds like something you should take care of as soon as possible as opposed to waiting. Doctors offices will understand that your cards are on the way as long as you have your client number from the Insurance company.

also, as for what is wrong, I would still get an STD/STI check because there are STD/STI's that may not show symptoms in men such as HPV. it would be smart to schedule and appointment to have the itching looked at and also to have a test done. its always better to be safe instead of sorry.

is the itching inside? and are you putting Itch-x and Cortisone inside? cause I dont think youre supposed to do that, but Im not sure if you were just putting that on the bumps.

The itching is mostly outside, but alittle bit on the part where the outer part curves in. If that makes any sense.
