White Curd Like Discharge That Accumulates Around Clitoris And Labia, Itchy. Taking Diflucan. Recommendations?

Hi, I have white curd like discharge that accumulates around my clitoris and labia. The first day this starts happening, my clitoris seems to swell. The area is very itchy and sometimes stings. For the past three weeks I prescribed myself diflucan weekly because I thought it was a yeast infection. I didn't take it this week because I thought I was better. I rinse everytime I go to the bathroom and the area is clean.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Better to take any medicine after consulting doctor only.
According to your description and as your symptoms got better with ant--fungal medicine, that can be more possibly a yeast infection.
You maintain personal hygiene, keep the area dry and avoid unnecessary local medication.
If the discharge repeats consult gynecologist once.

Take care.
