Is Swollen Clitoris With Cluster Of Bumps Due To Having Genital Herpes, Yeast Infection Treated With Yogurt And Ice Packs?
About a week ago I was coming down with a yeast infection, I treated the itching/heat with plain yogurt on a tampon and a couple of days later discharge was gone. But I have genital herpes and I noticed a cut at the top of my vagina, above my clitorious. It was very red, sensitive and itchy. I would use cold water and an ice pack at night to again have the itching and heat to a minimum. This morning I used "smiles prid homeopathic salve" to my cut and it is almost gone. my clitorious looks swollen and very different and near my inner thighs I am starting to feel clusters of bumps. why is my clitorious swollen and looking weird? Is it from the yogurt and ice? am I going through a severe outbreak? :( I'm only 17, help

Hello 17 year old Diagnostician!
No wonder there are bumps there. such a competent diagnostician has self treated herself. Never do that again, if you have yeast infection, seek help, nothing to shy about. every girl gets them, A simple topical applications of some ointments would have been enough and all your worries would have been spared. now still not late. Let the lumps examined by gynecologist and let them decide what to do what not to. Yogurts can be more worthy if eaten instead applied to private parts. Save the food :P
