swelling and itching
| Mon, 11-03-2003 - 6:04am |
Hi. i'm actually really scared. i had sex with a new partner on halloween and the next day my vaginal area was very swollen and red. it's two days later and the severe itching continues. We used a condom and i think it might have had spermicide on it and i don't think i've ever used that before.
i thought it was a yeast infection and started using cream today but, it burned when i inserted the cream and i woke up at 4 am with extreme itching.
help me, please

If it's not yeast, then hopefully they'll be able to figure out what's going on. Do you have a latex allergy?
In the mean time, try sitz baths. Fill your tub up with warm water, just enough to cover your lower half. Sprinkle some baking soda in there. Sit there for 10-15 mitunes. That might help with the itching.
I hope it subsides soon for you!
