Genital yeast infections?

I’m 15 and I haven't been sexually active. For years now, I've dealt with some kind of yeast infection or something similar, but I never really worried about it since it just felt like a constant thing. Yesterday, though, I totally panicked because I noticed one larger sore sitting right in the middle of the irritation, and it hurts like crazy if I touch it. I honestly don't know if this is just part of the infection or something else entirely—it looks almost like a blister, or something similar, and when I touch some of them, there's this white discharge coming out. I'm really scared because it doesn't look good at all. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

You should really reach out to a doctor,
🙄 especially if you haven't had any sexual contact lately, right?
I mean, please don't just let this sit and worry you... if you're feeling too awkward to talk to anyone or if you're hesitant about heading to a clinic, maybe just try calling your primary care physician first...

I emphasized this yesterday: please don't make me remind you daily—avoid titles that lack substance, such as "help" or vague questions without context. Just state clearly what is bothering you in the title using just a few words...

Look, Candida yeast doesn't typically present the way you're describing—so there's a chance what you've actually got is something else entirely, maybe even something a bit more serious.
You can pick up an STD from pretty much anywhere, honestly—public pools, gym locker rooms, even a shared restroom...
Just go see a doctor.🙂

But yesterday I totally freaked out because I noticed one big sore sitting right in the middle of all those infections, and it actually hurts when I touch it. I don't even know if it's part of the infection or something else entirely—it looks like a pimple, sort of, and when I touch some of them, this white gunk comes out. I'm seriously scared because it doesn't look good at all. Does anyone know what this could be?

Look, yeast infections aren't pimples! Are you shaving or waxing down there? It’s probably just ingrown hairs or breakouts from hair removal.

Sounds like some kind of warts to me..

Just tell your mom you’re having issues and have her take you to a gynecologist.. there's no reason to be afraid..

They might refer you to a dermatologist or a venereologist after that.. either way, you need to get this treated, and fast.

Okay, I’m about to ask an incredibly stupid question, but I have to because I saw someone mention Candida fungi earlier. Look, I honestly have zero clue what that actually is, but basically, my allergy test came back showing I'm allergic to Candida. So, is that just it? Or is there some other thing out there also called Candida?
