<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have had the same boyfriend for about 8 months now and have been consistently sexually active with him. Sometimes my vaginal area is a little sore the next day, but this time it is itchy, red and irritated and I recently felt little bumps or ridges inside my vagina. My discharge smells and looks completely normal except for when I ve tried to put itch cream on it and it gets a little thicker and whiter. My boyfriend is completely fine with no irritation at all to his genitals. We tried having sex again a day after I noticed it hurting and there was a very sharp pain when he tried to enter that nearly left me crying in pain. There is some burning during urination but I feel like that happens only if I ve recently been scratching the area. I have been having these symptoms for about 4 days now with no change and it may just be getting worse since I can t help scratching and messing with it.  <response>: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor!
