hi im a 25 yr old female, sexually active. I've been having itching in the vagina and around it on and off for the past 5-6 months. i dont see sores but its red n i do see a red spot. the itching is so severe and once i scratch it burns n getsd more itchy n worse. I ignored it initially but now im scared. Plus i thought may be its because of mt panties because it dsnt itch during my periods when im using a sanitary pad. HELP PLZZZZZZZ ... could this b herpes?? also tell me if i should see a gynaecologist or a dermatologist .. helppppppppp
