Pictures 1 and 2 are from the first day i looked at it after itching for about 5-6 days. I would’ve been also itching pretty intensely so the skin was probably more irritated at this point, but still no pain after itching or anything.
3 and 4 is the next day and 5 is the day after that. After about 6/7 days it looked like picture 6 earlier in the day and then like 7 later on in the same day. The last picture is 2 days after that.
It seemed to go down pretty quickly and then got irritated again a few days after and then went down quickly again so im a bit confused what it was. All swelling and redness is gone now the area just still looks a bit lighter in color.

I had travelled and shaved and then went zip lining the next day although i don’t usually get this kind of irritation, but I also would’ve been using hotel toilet paper and soap. It didn’t hurt or cause any pain and i was even able to shave over it to get a better view. I also haven’t had any sexual encounters since January. I know herpes doesn’t usually itch for so long before showing blisters which i didn’t get after the itching

I’m 26(F) Pictures 1 and 2 are from the first day i looked at it after itching for about 5-6 days. 3 and 4 is the next day and 5 is the day after that. After about 6/7 days it looked like picture 6 earlier in the day and then like 7 later on in the same day. The last picture is 2 days after that.
It seemed to go down pretty quickly and then got irritated again a few days after and then went down quickly again so im a bit confused what it was. All swelling and redness is gone now the area just still looks a bit lighter in color.

It itched for about a week but i never had any pain in that area and my last sexual contact was January.

does this look like herpes or something else? It was itchy for a while but it never caused much pain and it looked like a light pink/whitish patch. Important to note that throughout this it never had any stinging, burning or pain when touched or using the bathroom. The timeline and the symptoms didn’t necessarily seem like herpes but i’m not too sure and i’m really scared about it.
I wrote out the timeline below as a guide to the photos.
the patch hasnt come back but i do still have yeast infection symptoms like soreness/redness all over and thick clumpy discharge. Any white spots you see in the pictures are just discharge that i was able to wipe away.

Pictures 1-3 are on Jul 30th when i first saw it after it had been itching and i did scratch it a lot before looking so the red spots could be broken skin. (I had to zoom in quite a bit to actually see these marks)

Pictures 3-7 are the next day Jul 31 where it looks slightly better. The white stuff around is discharge that was coming from inside my vagina I don’t think it was coming from the irritated spot and i was able to wipe it away. I had some yeast infection symptoms too including the discharge .

Pictures 8-9: Aug 1 it started to look a lot better and the irritation was basically gone the skin was still slightly lighter than usual and again the flakiness was from discharge and i had it in other areas too. I think i had a yeast infection but just wanted to be sure it’s nothing else.

Pictures 10-13: After that it was fine till it seemed to get irritated again on Aug 9th the first two pictures being earlier and by later it seemed to not be as bad again.

Pictures: 14-17: Aug 11 and it’s basically gone now and the patch is barely visible. I’m really confused about the timeline of this since it doesn’t seem like herpes.
