Question
I am having a white, cottage cheese looking discharge. The inside of my vagina lips itch. Then, if I rub them hard, a small amount of blood appears, and it also burns. What could this be? Could this be an STD, what STD would it be?
Answer
This sounds like you might have a yeast infection. You can ask the pharmacist for over-the-counter medicine. If you don't get better (or if you have other reasons to be concerned about STDs) go to your local clinic and be checked for STDs.
