    Question

    Hi, I'm 15 and for the past two weeks I had thick white discharge and it was itchy and sore. So I assumed it was a yeast infection. Then before looking at medications I decided to try a home remedy yesterday. The 1 cup of apple cider vinegar in bath remedy. The itchiness went away. But today, the discharge is thin but it has little light green dots in it and I know it cant be Trich., because I'm a virgin. Also the itching came back after I went to the bathroom and noticed the discharge. Now I'm worried and I dont know what it is... Do you have any suggestions other than seeing a doctor? Like what it might be?

    Answer

    You can try another bath and another home remedy is eating yogurt - the most organic you can find. If that fails, you know I have to say it - see a doctor!
