Yeast Infection or something else?

Ok so here is my problem. For the last couple months I've had on-off symptoms of something. Initially I would think it is a yeast infection but I don't have the cottage cheese like discharge. I always tend to get discharge, so I have nothing more than usual. The thing that worries me is the itching down there. Sometimes its worse than others and once or twice I look and my vaginal skin was very dry and the skin was flaky! I have no sores or any other visible marks. So it is itchy but no discharge. What is it?! I need to make a gyno appointment I know but until then I would love some insight, thanks!

Hi there. Yeah, I would make an appointment asap. Beside a yeast infection, another possibility is bacterial vaginosis (sp?). I used to get these often. Take care, Laura
