Can Itchy Bump On Vaginal Opening Be Yeast Infection?

I slept in my bathing suit, and then 2 days later i thought i was getting a yeast infection (which i know i have) but i have 2 little bumps on the right side of my vaginal opening. all they do is itch. can this be due to scratching the area when it was itching due to the yeast infection or could these 2 bumps be herpes? there are only 2 on the right side.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. It can be yeast infection if just a bump with out puss. Herpes is presented as fluid filled rashes and associated with burning sensation along with itching. A swab should be taken to rule out this. If yeast infection then i treat with clotrimazole cream for local application. Using intimate wash will be helpful to normalize vaginal PH and bacterial flora which will help you prevent from such infections.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
