Brief Answer:
Get a swab from that site of clitoris

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

It doesnot look like an yeast infection.. Yeast infection will be more towards vaginal area..

Get a swab from the clitoris to confirm the diagnosis.. Based on the report, the treatment is decided..

Do you have itching or curdy white discharge from vagina?

Keep the area clean and dry.. Avoid intercourse till infection heals completely

Brief Answer:
Get a repeat test for herpes

Hi,

The lesion in the picture doesnot appear like herpes infection.. Usually they are painful blisters.. I would suggest to get a swab for viral culture to confirm herpes..

It is more likely to be mild fungal infection.. If herpes comes positive again, take antiviral drugs which will help to relieve the symptoms associated with the lesion..

Hope I have answered your query.. good day..

Avoid sex in 1st 3 months of pregnancy

How many week's pregnant are you now? Prior to 12 weeks it is better to avoid sex due to chance of abortion.. If you have bleeding, get a scan done to see for fetal well being.. Use antiviral cream for herpes infection..

hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
