Hello,
I have had thrush about 5 times in the last 6 months. I was with the same partner for over 4 years, but have now been separated and have had new sexual partners. After each one, I have had full STD checks (not herpes or HPV as they don’ t test for that without symptoms where I go) and everything has come up clean. I have also done urine tests AND swab and it has confirmed that it was Thrush. I didn’t really get a lot of thrush with my old partner, and I know that introducing new bacteria into my body has thrown off the balance…
The last two times, I haven’t gone back to the doctor as I know my body and could tell it was Thrush once more. Now however, I feel two/three tiny hard lumps to the left of my clit near the clitoral hood and at the start of the labia majora. They are about 1mm - 2mm in size and are hard, almost grainy under the skin but slightly raised. I have spent HOURS on here looking at genital warts, and these lumps are smooth with no “cauliflower” like expressions nor are they “sores” or “puss filled” like the herpes images I have seen.
I do have some fordyce spots around my vagina, and on the labia major but they are not noticible. These lumps have been itchy, but, then again I have had thrush on and off so it could just be that. Has anyone experienced lumps like this after thrush? I have read that you can get “blocked glands” in this area but they seem too small for that - Does anyone know if fordyce spots can get bigger or inflamed causing infection?
Yes…I have spent HOURS with a mirror pulling my skin and I know I KNOW it makes it worse, irritating the skin more…But I just can’t stop…I have been using thrush cream in that area and internal cream AND did the “vinegar test” for warts and they stayed a similar pink colour to the rest of my skin.
Thank you,
