I have a history of yeast infections, as does my mother. They usually itch intensely and last several days. A few days ago I started to itch but this time I have several small bumps on the inside of my labia. The hood of my clitoris is also swollen on the side where I itch the most. I do shave down there, so can this just be ingrown hairs in combination with a yeast infection? I have only had sex with one person, my fiancé. We have not been sexually active in over a month. We were each others first and only and neither of us has any family history of STDs so I don't think that is it. Does anyone have an answer?
UPDATE: The little bumps have turned red and have little white heads. They burn intensly when I urinate and my whole outer labie feels swollen and tender all the time. I started an otc treatment for yeast infections. Please, any ideas or advise would be appreciated.
