inflammation, currently was possibly diagnosed with chlamydia and treated today results have not come in yet. just redness and irritation around my lips very concerned
Brief Answer:
Regarding genital symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Along with chlamydia screening I also suggest screening for other infections like Gonorrhea, Genital Herpes and Syphilis. Swelling and redness on vaginal lips could possibly be due to an STI like Genital Herpes, Syphilis, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Genital herpes presents with genital sores along with swelling and burning sensation whereas Syphilis is usually a painless sore which may go unnoticed therefore it may manifest only on tests and may coexist with other STDs like genital herpes So, in my view you should undergo a full spectrum STDs screening if there is a history of risk exposure.
Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
