About 5 days ago i was shaving my pubic hair and cut myself multiple times. Within a few days those cuts got red and puffy and soon became infected. embrassed and not knowing what to do i went to the doctor and complained about a sinus infection and was given amoxicillian, my thinking was this medicine would cure my infection. now i still have the red, now scabbing, cuts, but that area has severe inflammation along w/ my labia. i am also experiencing iching in my vaginal area and am treating that as a yeast infection. i have no had sex or any sexualy relations for at least 3 months... i do not know what to do and am scared to go to the doctor... please help

Help!

get some neosporin. wash the area with soap and water, then put on a nice coating of the neo. put it on several times a day. if it doesn't get better in a few days, you have no choice but to see a doc.

what should i do about the swelling?

maybe some ice - put some in a baggie then wrap in a hand towel. not sure how much it will help but try it. forgot to mention that you should wash with soap and water between applications of the neosporin, and change your underwear too. you want to keep the area as clean as possible.

Go to the doctor. It's not a big deal. As you've discovered anti-biotic not all the same. They treat different things. And stop treating the itch with a yeast infection. Yeast is a fungal infection.
If you keep goofin' around, you could end up with a serious problem on your hands.
