I've had some pretty horrible yeast infections involving actual pain so much I had to stay home from class and was unable to wear pants/underwear (dresses without panties in the winter is FREEZING.)
Go to the doctor as soon as you can. I doubt they will be surprised by a wild pubic hair-do, especially knowing you were trying to reduce the itching. Don't let a strange trimming keep you from seeking relief.
Because the symptoms are a little different for you, it may not actually be a yeast infection (although this does sound like one). It is important to go to the doctor so you do not misdiagnose yourself, especially if this happens to be something more serious. Also, just think, with a pill the infection (or at least the really uncomfortable symptoms) could be gone in 1-3 days, instead of 3-5 days like an over the counter treatment.

Good luck and you have my sympathy!
