Bacterial vaginosis: Your outbreak may be caused by the organism causing your vaginosis, so go ahead and start your antibiotics.

See a doctor: Bacterial vaginosis can cause a smelly discharge from your vagina but it does not usually cause sores that itch or hurt. Suggest you see your Dr again to check if something else is causing your new symptoms
