Extreme burning, can barely walk

So before I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and BV, I had extreme burning, it hurt so badly that I could barley walk! I was burning and red all inside the labia minora (vaginal lips). With this burning I had an odorless discharge that looked milky, and I kept wiping it away, but that just made my burning worse. Could this be caused my herpes?? Or could it be from the yeast and BV. I could have had BV for months, because I never got tested for it until recently and have had multiple issues with my vagina for atleast 4 months! Burning, itching, discharge, taste bud looking bump that just disappeared out of no where one day like it fell off, irritation on certain spots for a day or two, it's been a horrible experience!! Oh and in top of that I was sick but only in this last month, when I was burning the first time I had to flu like symptoms, the burning would be there for half a day and be gone for the other half, it seemed to hurt more in the morning. Please let me know what you think.

Don't discount the amazing effects of baking soda in soothing general irritation caused by anything.

Oh no, I dont know what is or was wrong with me but the part inbetween my labia minora and labia majora that was itching and hurts real badly is now feeling better, and I didn't really do much! All I did was put baking soda and water on the area and kept it dry, I'm scared that it is herpes again cuz if it was a yeast infection or bacterial it would be getting worse not better!!! OMG I don't want it to be herpes, I'm really scared!! my dr hasn't given me the test results yet, she called I told her my symptoms she wait it's BV she was going to call in a prescription, and said that she needed to call me back for my test results. But when I went to the pharmacy the prescription was not called in!! But she never called for my test results!!! OMG OMG I'm freaking out!!!!!

I can relate. It takes over your whole life. Keep on with the baking soda. I tried Epsom Salts but it was way too drying and made things worse. Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you! I need as much support as I can get!
It's so hard for me to concentrate at work! My girly problems is the only thing on my mind!!
So oddly enough, a ice pack on the outside of my vagina is really soothing! I don't know why my poor skin is irritated, I've tried every cream I could think of! All of them only help temporarily!
I'm going to stick with the baking soda and water for now, until I get a hold of my OBGYN.

I'm still not positive what this itching is from. It hurts to touch the area, but it's itchy, and red!! This is all on the outside! I feel perfectly fine on my inner vaginal lips, and it's only on one side!!!
It's kind of freaking me out!! I really really hope that my OBGYN calls tomorrow!!!!
Oh and I an having a good amount of white watery discharge, and the only think that soothes the irritated skin is water with baking soda, but it intensifies the fishy odor. Oh and the veins on my labia majora is now more pronounced, it looks like spider veins, ugh I'm still all screwed up! I just want to be normal again!!
