Re: You guys seem to be pretty good at diagnosing things. Help me out?

I am not a doctor, and this sounds like something for which you should probably spring for a gynecologist visit. But... the itching and the fact that it comes and goes with your period suggests it might be something like a yeast infection. Usually the vagina's pH rises and falls depending on where you are in your cycle. A period can reset things, but they don't work all the time when the yeast infection is a more serious one.

I'd avoid soaps, douches and perfumes. I'd probably ditch the lotion and vaseline, tbh. Try and greatly minimize (or cut out entirely) sugar from your diet and cut WAY back on carbs as well. Dry thoroughly after showering, wear cotton underwear (or some women find it preferable to go commando) and maybe see if a yeast infection treatment helps. Go for one of the 7-day creams. The 3-day treatment sounds tempting because it's shorter, but IME sometimes doing it for the full week makes the difference.

But seriously, go to a gyno. You don't have to research anything to figure out what it might be, because that's their job to figure out. All you have to do is note down and tell them your symptoms just like you've told us. They might want to do a swab of your cervix to see if it's a yeast infection, and if it is, you can probably just treat it with OTC creams but really, in cases like this it's good to know for sure.

It may be something else like an STI, in which case you'll need antiobiotics. Try and see if there's a Planned Parenthood near you if money's an issue. Good luck, OP!

I know some people who had issues with having problems that their doctors missed purely because said doctors haven't heard of it or don't run into it much or whatever, so I like to do a little advanced research to at least run some suggestions by them. And it's not so much the visit itself so much as the fact the only place I know will accept my insurance charges a ton for even basic medical tests. I'd go to Planned Parenthood but they require social security numbers, so they'd eventually find out I still live with my father and charged based on my family's 'household income' than the fact I don't have a job and can't use my insurance with them.

And I'll definitely look into an OTC yeast treatment. Thank you for all the tips. :)
