What Can Be The Red Itchy Swelling In Clitoris?
Hi. I'm having Issues, with a red itchy swollen clitoris. It burns sometimes, and stings when I pee? Could this be a yeast infection on the outside. I also was diagnosed unfortunately with herpes last year, could this be an outbreak even though there are no sores? Thank you!

Red itchy swelling is going in favor of candida infection, herpes usually present with burning sensation as well as small blisters. If possible please send us the photographs for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment.
