Infection?

Hi. I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure out whats going on with me. I seem to have an increase in discharge - its white, not clumpy like a yeast infection, but maybe a little thicker than usual. The smell - sometimes it has an strong odor and sometimes it doesnt. It doesnt hurt to pee and im not itchy, but it kind of burns where the hair starts and in between the folds, which in the center of the fold, is like cracked or torn, kind of like when the corners of your mouth get chapped and crack. Thats been there for a long time though. I just want to know why its all burning. The whole area looks pretty red. I really dont want to go to the gyno and I dont have much time, I leave for vacation on Wednesday, so I dont know if I could even get into the doc. If anyone has any guesses, I would appreciate it.

Yes, I agree with Cherrie.

While waiting to see your doc; get some vagisol (external vaginal creme). It is used for yeast-related infections but rather than internal, it is a topical ointment to be applied anywhere in the vulva area.

P.S. I have experienced this before, you definitely DO have an infection so get to a doctor before your trip!
