Vulva Itch Update

update on my situation...
I have had a really bad vaginal itch on
and off since last Sunday (so about 8
days). I was putting A&D ointment
(diaper cream basically) on it and that
was helping a little, but I think
something else is going on.
I've had a little bit of discharge (white,
a bit watery, no scent) and the entrance
to my vulva is red. Also, towards the
beginning of last week my rectum was itchy
as well.
Looking into my vagina I can see that
things are a red, and there is a patch of
red skin between the bottom of my vulva
and rectum. It feels normal to the touch
(no flakiness) but I think it might be
eczema (I have it near my bikini line as
well).
I am DEFINITELY going to the doctor when I
go home (am currently at my parents for
the holidays) but does anyone have
suggestions for me?
Right now I think it might be:
-yeast infection
-BV
-trichomoniasis
-vaginitis
worst fear would be that it's genital
herpes though I have no sores and practice
safe sex with one partner. I've had cold
sores before and know what they look like
and there isn't any sign of lumps, bumps
or sores on my vagina but I'm so
paranoid.
someone please help =)

Also, I'm on the pill Kariva (generic of
Mircette)...could this be the cause?
Since I've been on the pill this has
happened the second week into my period.

If you are thinking it might be a yeast
infection, you should get one of those pee
tests for it. That way you could catch it
now and treat it on your own with otc
stuff.

The pill can cause yeast infections in
some people by changing their hormone
levels

I think i'm going to go to the drugstore
to get the Vagisil screening kit (will let
me know if my pH is normal--whether it's
yeast or BV) and some monistat.
hopefully this will help me...

hope everyone had a merry christmas =)
now this is strange...I've felt TOTALLY
fine all day long. No itch since last
night. Maybe me eating a carton of yogurt
and doing the garlic suppository did the
trick??
I'm still going to the dr. because I think
this is pill related...Maybe my hormones
are acting up the second week of my cycle
because I'm on Kariva now?
Who knows...
