since Oct 2004, i've had this itching down there.. and along with it is a very light pink/brown discharge... its very very light.. i only see it if i wipe after i pee, or it will be 1 or 2 drops on my undies.
but when its really really itchy.. there is very little white discharge and its like little pieces or sometimes its liquidy white...(after the itching isn't as intense, then there is the pink discharge)..i don't think there is a smell.... but i noticed that its like itcing on the lips part... or just inside the vulva part.. just on the bottom of the lips...when i pull them away, i can see the inside of the outer lips is a little red.
i dont get this is everyday.. but when i do .. it usually lasts around 1 week and goes away and then comes back 2 or 3 weeks later... i thought it was because i'm allergic to the soap i was using so i changed and it stopped for a bit.. and a few weeks later it came back. then i started thinking that it is hpv or some std thats causing it.. but there are no warts there and my swabs came out clean. is it possible that this is hpv? if not, then what is it? it sounds like it could be a yeast infection.. or lichen sclerosis... or bv.. i dunno but its killing me. its been coming back none stop since oct......i am 22 and this is the first time i had something like this happen to me for so long. why would i all of a sudden get this? please help.

It most likely is a yeast infection. Certain times in your cycle will make it even worse. You can try an over the counter medication. The one day treatments are a little better than they 7 day creams because they stay up inside long enough to get to sleep. (use it right before bed) The creams don't stay up as well and can burn when they inction is bad because your outer skin is already inflamed.

You may have Candida...a yeast infection. Sometimes with yeast infections there is intense itching. Go see your doctor first, dont buy anything over the counter unless you find out for sure that it is a Yeast Infection. You also may have Bacterial Vaginitis. This is also a yeast infection, but it is bacterial. This kind of yeast infection can be from an imbalance in your vaginal flora. This kind of infection needs to be treated by your doctor because you cant get the medication over the counter at a drug store. At the same time, bacterial yeast infections can be just as common as the candida yeast infection but usually does have a slight fishy odor.
If you have not been checked for STD's, or do not use condoms with your partner (dont know if you are sexually active or not) but Chlamydia can cause a discharge and some discharge tainted with blood appearing to be a pinkish discharge. X our the Chlamydia part if you are not sexually active or if you use condoms with your partner.
Best bet, go get a check up...you dont want to self diagnose, but get a doctors opinion about this. Good luck, and I hope that you start getting some relief soon. Vaginal itching is not fun!

hello, thanks for the advice everyone! The itching has stopped now... finally... does itching with Chlamydia continue non-stop? or is it for just a few days and then goes away?
is it really possible to get yeast infections once a months? i've never had anything like this really when i was growing up. and when is the best time to go to the dr about it? like would she still be able to find out if i went when there is no itching?

the itching will come and go with a yeast infection if it has not been treated. you can spread it to your partner and you will end up giving it back and forth to each other until it is treated
