Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have yellow watery discharge, and I had a bump on my vagina that is an open sore now. What could this mean? I have discharge so I took some leftover yeast infection medication and then the discharge changed to watery yellow. I had sex and I bleed a lot for the day and it went away. I had a bump on my vagina that opened and now it has become a sore that seems to be getting bigger. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The image you sent is not clear (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Also, please mention was the bump in the vagina painful? Or is there any redness and do you have a fever? Send a clear picture and consult. Take the following medicines for the time being; tablet Paracetamol 500 mg one tablet twice daily after meals for two days and Amoxicillin + Clavulanate 625 mg one tablet thrice daily after meals for five days.

The Probable causes

Preventive measures

Do not scratch the area. Take a sitz bath with 2 drops of Povidone iodine in lukewarm water twice daily. Keep the area clean.
