Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infection on outer lips
yeast-infection
My outer lips have felt really dry (bottom of the outer lips near the vagina). It felt dry and chapped to the point that when I walked, it seemed as though they rubbed together. It was hurting, and burning a lot (especially the left side).
I took a mirror and checked myself out when I went home, and it seemed as though it blistered or something (mostly the left side), and I assumed that was from it being dry and rubbing together.
I have the monistat cream, so I used it on both sides.

I dont know what is going on, but my and my boyfriend haven't had sex for a while maybe 2 weeks and I've been fine but I just finished my period and I was using a pad when I never use a pad, lately I've seen that my inner lips just one is really swollen(near the clitoris) and my outer vaginal lips are also swollen and they seem dry, and its looks white. i dont itch inside but there is a discomfort in my inner lips(near my clitoris) and thats the only part that hurt.
Sounds like you could have a minor infection. Maybe a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. You can get them even without sex. They just happen. Like getting an ear infection or something. Nothing to be embarrassed about. The best thing to do is see a doc.
I have seen a commericial for some OTC product that lets you test for an infection. I don't remember the name though. You may want to look at the pharmacy. If it tells you that it's yeast, you can buy over the counter remedy.
It's a little hard to know from your description just where the problem is, but if it's inside the inner lips then given your history it's more likely to be yeast than anything. Something like Vagisil might help. If it's outside the outer lips then it could be herpes but your history would suggest otherwise. In that case it might be a plain old bacterial infection, for which an antibiotic cream will definitely help. Good luck trying to cure it.
m seventeen and didnt have the bumps on the inside though. Sex was really painful and then I had a yeast infection which was extremely painful....then I noticed these two cuts right where you described them. I have a doctors appointment soon, and I havent had sex in three weeks because the last time I did, my boyfriend and I were shocked to see soo much blood come outt of this little cut. Does anyone know what this is? It is not an STD, but is it related to my yeast infection?
m still kinda confused with my situation...I have white stuff, ON my vagina, kinda underneath the outer lips, not coming out as such, and not the usual discharge associated with periods. Sometimes I get white powdery stuff on my undies. It is all white and the stuff on my vagina looks like cottage cheese - which I've read is common with yeast infections, but I don't get any itching or burning! There is no discolouration either, or smell!
Seemingly overnight, largish white bumps (many) have popped up on my outer lips. They don't hurt, the only reason I noticed them was because my underwear seemed to irritate the area a little. Of course I got freaked out, so I've been doing a bunch of research... a lot of the pictures & articles are about tiny white bumps like pimples, but these are large, like pea sized. They're flat & smooth.
I am 20 years old, and have had sex with 3 men.
Okay, so wednesday aug7th my boyfriend & I had sex that morning. Then, the next day aug8th, my vagina started itching & I noticed there was a yellowish discharge. Yesterday & last night which was Friday aug9th.. My vagina was itching sooo bad & when I peed, it began burning. Then, i noticed... My vagina is freaking swollen!!! Like the labia inner & outer lips are HUGEEEE! It's so not normal looking. Omg, I'm so scared.
After being put on antibiotics for strep throat, bronchitis, and a bad bladder infection I ended up with a yeast infection(which is common on certain antibiotics) During the treatment of my yeast infection I had sores on the inside of my vagina from scratching so bad, Then a little bump (with no head or anything) appeared on my clitorous, making it so sore to touch. Again I am assuming that it was a little tear from scratching.
She stated that the red, itchy bumps on the outer lips of my vagina that I experienced were because Monistat 1 was too strong, and that I had some sort of reaction. I asked to have a test done. She tested for herpes by scraping the bumps, and it came back negative. I also developed 1 or 2 small, very very small bumps just on the outer edges of my lips which also went away very quickly.
I feel very emarrassed about this but a few ours ago my vaginal lips were itch on the outer side I thought this was due to pubic hair that had grown after shaving so after about an hour of really bad iching I shaved agian although that did calm it down I noticed my right lip was a little swollen then just minutes there im shocked to notice its 3x the size, it is swollen right to the back and as im a petite woman it really dose stand out.
I have been itching for the past couple of days around my labia majora, I let my pubic hairs grow out because I an scared to use a razor there since I've been itching. I have been looking all over and found a spot that hurt when I pressed on it with my nail, but it's so small, it's as small as a grain of sand, its on the pubic area of the outer vaginal lips, inbetween the hairs, it looks like a hair follicle but there is no hair growing out of it!
I looked down there to see what was the problem and I saw a white spotted looking rash on my vagina lips and I started to get pimple looking bumps on my outer lips. I started getting scared that I might have gotten herpes or something. I started itching again but not as much as before and my vagina had a redness to it like before. My outer lips started looking purple almost a little swollen and the tears were still there.
