Dark Purple On Labia Minora, Itchy, Odour. Infection?

I noticed a dark purple area off to the one side of my labia minora. I think I may have knocked it while shaving a few days ago. But I'm not too sure. It's been itchy for a few days now, and has had a bit of odour coming from it. I didn't notice the area was purple until tonight. I plan to see my doctor tomorrow but need peace of mind tonight if possible.. Could it just be infected?? Or is it something more serious?

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gine through your history.

It seems that you have developed vaginal infectikn most likely to be fungal in nature.

You should consult your gynecologist for detailed evaluation. Doctor may advise you to take local antifungal agents.

Thanks.
