What Do Itching And Burning Sensation In The Genital Area Indicate?

I developed an itch and burning sensation in my genital area and have been scratching myself. This evening I noticed blood on the toilet paper. I looked inside with a mirror and whatlooked like a blister that had burst and was bleeding. I am aa 63 year old female and not sexually active. I am worried because the itch is getting unbearable. I made an appointment withmy gyn. doctor but itis not until January 3rd. Should I go to emergency?

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
I think that your symptoms are related to vaginal yeast.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Take 14-day cream, ointment, tablet, or suppository vaginal treatment.
-Take two or three doses of fluconazole (Diflucan) -Wash and dry the area frequently
-Use coton underwear
-If it doesn't get better see a gynecologist.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
