Could be an STD: This could be an std. You should be examined. For info on stds, check out sexualhealth.Com, but online std testing isn't right for u at this time. Someone should examine your vulvar area & determine if a swab test, biopsy or other type of test is needed. Do u have a new partner? This could be genital herpes or another std. The only way to know is to get tested. Abstain for now, then use condoms.

LIkely BV: You may be dealing with a bacterial vaginosis (bv), std, or even a yeast infection can present this way. The only way to know is to see your doctor for a complete vaginal exam, testing, and treatment. I hope you are better soon!
