Or burn just simply uncomfortable 10/13/16 was day seven and the swelling is gone but I still have discomfort present and can t really stand my panties to touch my vagina .. Is this a yeast infection producing from my BV treatment?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Redness and sticky discharge what you are noticing in the vulval region appears to be due to inflammation of the skin in the region.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Use anti-bacterial medicated soaps to take bath regularly.
3. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesions.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to prevent friction and providing proper ventilation.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Main good personal hygiene. Gradually your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
