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.

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.
