Can An Yeast Infection Cause A Lump In Labia Majora?

Can a yeast infection be the cause of lump in labia majora? I used a Canesten tablet last night to treat the infection but when I woke up this morning, I noticed a lump inside the skin at the right side.It was my second night to use the medicine for the first time treatment. I have a trouble with whitish and foul smelling secretion so I used it hoping to relieve my discomfort. However, worst thing followed so I am very much worried what is going on with my body. I am 41 and it s my first time experiencing this changes and problems. Please help me! Thanks.

Hello

As you explain the situation yes it might be a viral infection and mostly herpes simplex virus .
If you don't think that the Canesten is not working because it is for fungal infections than you should contact you doctor to see you directly.
