Is this thrush or not?

I know you're not all doctors but I've been to see them, had a swab which came back all clean, so thought I'd ask the mn experts.

I am itchy and sore, outside not in. In fact, the skin right on the edge is so delicate that if I touch it it feels like it's ripping. Confused

I don't appear to have any unusual discharge or smells, (thank the lord) but it is really uncomfortable.

As an added bonus, I removed the hair with immac today and even slathered in sudocrem I'm sore. I don't know what I was thinking.

Any ideas?

Hi thats how i feel when i get thrush dont always have a discharge just very sore and incredibly itchy.You could try some canestan cream if that soothes it

Ditto for me. Last time I went to the chemist and asked for Cannesten the assistant asked me what it was for. I replied in my loudest "inside" voice THRUSH!!!

I am allergic to thrush cream which causes this soreness on the outside, have you perhaps put something on it which has made it sore?

I wouldn't put any hair removal cream anywhere near it if I were you, it burns my skin and also causes this sort of soreness.

Look at underwear, soaps, hygiene routine, anything that might be causing it.
