How Can Vaginal Infection Be Treated?

I saw my gynecologist 5 days ago. I was diagnose with a yeast infection. They checke from other STDs. I also got a blood test for herpes. All but the yeast infection came out negative. However, I have burning bumps on the outer area of my vulva. What can the cause be if I m testing negative for STD?

Hello
Since you have STDs tests return negative, but the yeast infection, that leads us to two possible diagnoses which are:

1-the yeast infection can cause symptoms like burning, itching , bad odor in the vaginal area .
It can be treated by Antifungal vaginal tablets and creams.
A sitz bath can be helpful by filling the bathtub with warm water that goes up to your hips when you are seated, you may then add a mild saline solution or baking soda to the water.

2- An allergic reaction to chemicals, detergent or perfumes: in that case you should know what the possible irritant and avoid it, use a cotton underwears and the using of Hydrocortisone ointment or another anti-itching drugs can help.

Hope I answered your question
Wish you a speedy recovery
