i ve got a really really bad foofy

its very sore, swollen, bright red, extremely hot and now i can see/feel a few spots
i cant sleep properly, im literally screaming in pain and its making me feel really dirty. i ve had thrush and it doesnt seem to feel as if its thrush, its seems to be spreading towards my bum now and im dreading having to go to the toilet.

i really dont want to go the docs cos im a young mum and i dont want them to think its a STI or STD from sleeping around (there s no offence meant but in my area its really common) im with ds father and we're getting married so its not like i ve been with any one else. i ve even looked on the internet to see if its anything to do with ingrowing hairs.

the only way i can describe it is its like a mix of thrush, piles, and a heat rash.

its soooo embarrassing but i can hardly walk and its getting me down.

has anyone had simular?? i ve been under a lot of stress recently and feeling really down. so this could be why im under the weather sorta thing.

please help me.

sounds like your follicles are infected-go to the doc! you may need anti biotics.Hideous I know but think of all the undignified things involved in childbirth,this will be fine,doc will not even blink.Friend of mine had what sounds like same thing and it cleared up really quickly on meds.
