Ok....what you are describing the lips and hole are perfectly normal. Hasnt anyone given you any education on your body yet? If not talk about it to the doctor when you go in to see him. If you are too embarrassed to talk about it...go tot the library and look at some books on anatomy.......

Now the other problem...the itching....sounds like Thrush to me actually...which is harmless but very irritating. Of course Im not 100% sure if it is and you need to see the doctor to check and so he can prescribe you some cream to clear it up. Most women get it at some stage and its not from anything you have done. You do have to go to the doctor though...you need to treat it otherwise it can get much worse and become a real headache.

Its sounds very much like thrush go to boots or get a friend to go and buy canastean cream first, or capsule!! Then if u are still like this a week later go to your doctor!

I agree with the others in that your symptoms sound like a yeast infection (also called thrush). Here is some info on yeast infections. link removed

 

You can get an over the counter cream to treat it, but since this is the first time you've experienced these kinds of symptoms, you should get checked out by a doctor to make sure that's what it is. As it says in the first paragraph of that link, bacterial infections can cause similar symptoms. An anti-fungal cream will cure a yeast infection, but it won't do anything to help a bacterial infection. The only way to find out for sure what you have is to have a doctor take a look. The doc will take a sample of the discharge and look at it under a microscope to see if it's yeast or bacteria.
