White spot: See your dermatologist for an appropriate diagnosis.Lichen sclerosis et atrophicus can give white areas on labia. Vitiligo is a condition where there is loss of melanocytes and the skin gets very white. Often it starts around body orifices. Your doctor can look at your skin with a woods light and see if there are lighter spots developing anywhere else. Treatment depends on what the diagnosis is.

Is it possible to have a yeast infection without the discharge? And can it cause bad itching & tiny papercut-like tears/cuts between the labia?

I have bumps that look similar to herpes but I am having yeast infection symptoms. I have bad itching down there I accidentally cut both sides of my labia by scratching so much. Thick yellow green discharge?

Irritation. Inside of labia minora reddish, burning, and itching. Not nearly as bad as yeast infection. Normal discharge. Could it be from using soap?

Can herpes be ONLY on the inside of the labia majora? Or could that possibly be more of a yeast infection? 2 mos severe itching on labia majora w many tiny cuts, assumed from scratching. No crusting over, milky discharge from vag, no pain just itchy?
