Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In Clitoris And Presence Of Smegma

For further context, I was in a monogamous relationship for five and a half years with a man, my most recent sexual partner aside from that was two and a half years ago. It was a female and we engaged in oral sex & vulva to vulva contact. I never had any skin symptoms/ issues in the immediate or close aftermath of that encounter and since then have only had sex with the male partner.
I have had full STI screenings as recently as 2 months ago and everything was negative.
I have only had sex without condoms with two men, both of which I was in monogamous relationships with at the time.
nother thing I forgot to mention, I did experience some heavy discharge around the time of noticing the soreness on the clitoris, but that is not particularly unusual for me as I often have heavy vaginal secretions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
My name is Dr. Shoaib Khan and I have been chosen to answer your query, as our medical head Dr. Mazumdar is quite busy most times. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help.
The wounds in the attached images look to me like friction wounds and nothing else, which is good news. The most likely scenario was indeed a yeast infection, and nothing more which is why you responded well enough to the thrush cream. If it were not a fungal/yeast infection then not only would you not have responded well enough to the thrush cream but your symptoms would have still persisted.
I do not see any cause for concern, but I would also like to request a more recent image of the region in speaking, as you seem to have attached images of the region on day 1 and 2 of the infection.
As for the increased sensitivity, it will just take some time for you to return to normal function and sensitivity mainly because the most superficial layer is still recovering from the infection, and the new cells are yet to accustom themselves to their normal level of functioning.
I do not see any harm in what is being experienced, or any serious cause for concern. Please do not hesitate to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.


Thank you so much for your thorough reply, it has really put my mind at ease and made me feel a lot better. This has been something that was causing me a lot of anxiety and worry. I was very concerned that I had HSV2 and your reply has made me feel a lot more reassured that it is probably not that.
I think I am still going to get the antibody blood test but I feel more positive that I likely to do not have it now.
As requested I uploaded two pictures of the area that I took today. As you can see it looks totally normal now.
