Itch, burning, swollen butt

Follow up to this post.

I started Yasmin before my period begins. I am not sure if it was breakthough bleeding or spotting, but I started to get this kind of brown blood leaking since Monday. I read on the internet that it is normal. But what I cannot find answers to is that my butt started to feel itchy like crazy especially yesterday. Last night not only it was itchy I started to feel this raw burning feeling and as though it is swollen. It hurts like crazy when I sit and when I lay down. I woke up this morning feeling worse than ever, and when I went to the bathroom, I can feel like my butt is swollen and it flares out. I wonder if this has anything to do with b/c side effect or signs of allergy to Yasmin. I have never taken Yasmin prior to this. Do I need medical attention for this? Could this be infection or something? Any help?

It sounds like some kind of allergic reaction (though that would be a contact allergy, such as to something you ate (though that would be more likely to cause overall hives) or to your laundry detergent), a yeast infection, or potentially a herpes outbreak. If it's really painful, then going to a doctor wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Good luck!
