Hi Ladies,

I’m 38 years young I’ve been self treating “yeast infections” and a few prescriptions from my GP when otc meds didn’t help. It’s been pretty bad the last few months. I went to my GYN today for lower pelvic pain not the yeast infections. They found free fluid in my pelvic area which is causing my discomfort. While speaking with her I asked about my extremely annoying yeast infection that I can’t get rid of. It may clear up a few days but I can’t seem to truly cure it.
Right now, I thought it was cleared up. She still wanted to look. One little peek and she said, I don’t think you are dealing with yeast. I think you have LS.
When she explained what the symptoms were it was everything that I was experiencing and thinking was caused by a yeast infection.
She is calling me in steroid ointment. She wants to see me again in 6 weeks and asked for me to go straight to her office when it flares up again.
She gave me print out information on LS but I wanted to see photos of LS and Vulva cancer. The joy of Google. I’ve seen photos that are so very similar to what I have looked like.
Question: has anyone had a lump/bump that flares up and seemingly goes away? What I thought was just major irritation and swelling due to yeast irritation looks exactly like images of vulva cancer. The red bump on the side of the clitoris and vulva. It is not there consistently though.

Am I just losing my mind? Do I need to call her office and tell her this? I did not mention a bump. I chalked it up in my mind as side effects from a very persistent yeast infection. Now seeing photos, I completely 100% agree it’s LS. Could it already be something more? I was originally there for pelvic pain seemingly unrelated to this.
