I'm like fuuuuuuuck! I've never had one before. Earlier this week I noticed my vagina (just the inner lips) were itching and were red. I have a very milky white, thin and watery discharge that doesn't smell. This is not the normal discharge color or texture. It's usually thicker, more mucus-like and cream colored. Also there seems to be a discharge all the time and it just comes out more frequently than normal. I have been forgetting to change my panty liners quicker. I'm also thinking it could be an allergic reaction as I had a heavy masturbation session and I might have had something on my hands (like lotion). It might be a reaction to my body wash, but I've been using in for a month or more and I never wash inside the inner lips or douche.
Could this be a yeast infection? The last thing I need is a sick vagina.

Yeast infections normally have a smell, but I'd be hesitant about being too dogmatic about it. Very often it's hard to tell whether inflammation is from a yeast/fungal infection or a bacterial infection or an allergy, and the best way to tell may be to see which treatment clears it up.

You don't need a prescription to treat a yeast infection: you can get creams for it at any pharmacy. The same is true of bacterial skin infections. Allergies normally need anti-histamines - I don't know if they are available without prescription in the US.

You don't want the creme that you apply manually to the labia. That's not going to fix anything.
You want a suppository. Usually it's a 3 day treatment using a creme that is inserted into the vagina using something like a tampon applicator. Now they also have some 1 day treatments where you insert a large "pill", but also with an applicator.. However, you said in the past that you can't insert anything in your vagina... I don't know how you are going to deal with that.
They also have an oral treatment for yeast infections, but you will probably need a doctors prescription for that.

There are all sorts of warning due to liability issues.
You won't hurt anything treating yourself for a yeast infection. You just want to be sure it's nothing else. I doubt it would be. Yeast infections are pretty common.
I'm sure the pill is "larger" and yes it does dissolve. I doubt you would "feel" it inside. You can always go the 3-day creme route.

'Cause I have to find it and I've been to tired after work to do anything but eat dinner and go to bed. I don't have a car so it's twice as hard to get anything. I want to get the testing kit before I buy the yeast infection treatment. I also thought it might be Bacterial Vaginosis.
So far the itching has stopped, but I still have the weird discharge.

I'm having the same problem again, except know it always after my boyfriend performs oral sex on me. It's tha same itchy red area and discharge. Usually after he's done and sometimes during it start to itch 'casue he does this things where he rubs his mouth area over my vagina. He has a beard and it really rough on the vaginal skin (esp. the area the anus and vaginal opening. The cleared up the day after, but the day before yesterday he did it back to back and know I'm itching really bad. I also had a genital herpes scare too, so I think I have genital herpes for sure now because of the itching. I plan on trying to get an appointment and go to the doctor on Friday. Ugghhh I HATE my vagina, I hate being sexually active. something is always wrong with me, discharges, itching rashes, ingrown hairs, possible genital herpes.
Why can't I be healthy. What's wrong with me? What are some suggestions I can do to prevent these things? I guess I need to remember to ask my doctor these things.  FML
**After my vagina finally healed from last time ( stop using pantyliner so much and washed with the salicylic acne face wash from Burt's Bees) I started back using pantyliners again. Could this be the culprit? I just have to wear them. I normal discharge is heavy and mostly constant and I don't like being wet all the time. I try to just use tissue, but that just breaks up and the discharge soaks through and leaves my underwear wet and dries with a stain.**

I wouldn't have expected pantyliners to be a problem, unless you have an unusual allergy.
