Would definitely recommend that your healthcare provider examined these lesions in person. The symptoms you have mentioned can be consistent with a herpes virus infection. A culture can be done along with a face to face evaluation so that treatment can be started right away.

Vaginal itching for 3 yrs now. Only around the left inner labia & inside of the vagina. Left inner labia is swollen/folded/wrinkly & that's where it itches. Homeopathic doc told it's yeast infection. Itch goes away when menstruating so what is this?

Fungal infection should not last for 3 years and period does not alleviate itching due to fungal vaginitis. You need to be examined by a gynecologist.
