Herpes or yeast/bacterial infection? Help!
I'm freaking out! Please help! :'(
Ok so I'm an 18 year old female and I recently discovered sores on my labia that lies directly on my vagina. They had a brown appearance and were a bit stiff, not raised or indented, but just looked like a moist scab. It didn't hurt and I was a bit swollen. I had a creamy white discharge the week before and it increased and got more watery, so I just thought I was ovulating. It did not have a smell nor did it itch. I used Monistat 7day cream and Miconazole cream on the sores.
The next morning I woke up with a raging fever and my labia 10 times it's normal size, at this point the scabs are moist and are bleeding and appear more like a healing scab, brown in the middle, with white on the outside. My discharge is now bloody and my labia is getting even more swollen. I was tested for a bacterial infection, yeast infection, and herpes today. The sores are long and not round like pimples. It looks more like I took the skin off with a razor, but it is on the inside of my labia where I don't shave.
I have slept with two people, who both, I believe, were virgins. My bones are aching and I have a high fever. Please help :'(
I also start my period tomorrow, so hopefully the swelling will go down. I'm now taking Diflucan and Flagyl.

Hi also, with a yeast infection often times a topical infection can appear as would be considered a fungal where your natural skins flora grows out of control so it may be just a reation to a yeast as well.
Could staph be a likely cause? It appears as though my vagina is being eaten away :(
There's some concerns here, but this could be any number of things. Seek medical assistance immediately and request a swab for herpes. Virgins still can have oral HSV1 for example that can infect through oral sex.
The lesions/sores now appear to be raised and ripping away from the skin. I also found a lesion on my vagina. :(
