Hi, first off, thank you for any help that you my give.My girlfriend just called me, and she is a bit stressed and so am I She noticed today that she has a bump and it is itching in her genital area, and she doesn't know what is going on. She is going to the doctor in the morning to get checked out but I have read about most of the STDs and can't seem to find one that meets her problem. I know we will find out tommorow but any heads up on what this may be would be a great help.Thanks in advance for any advice.

Raised bump and itching

Itching in the genital area is usually thrush.. I don't know about the bump though..!

What does the bump look like?Genital warts can itch and tingle.

In the U.S., "thrush" generally refers to a candida (yeast) infection of the mouth.A yeast infection (also known as jock itch) is easy to treat, but other things can also cause itching.hifirsttimeuser, please let us know what the doctor says.

In reply to:In the U.S., "thrush" generally refers to a candida (yeast) infection of the mouth.That's interesting. Here it nearly always refers to a vaginal infection. An infection of the mouth will be distinguished as "oral thrush".

According to NIH's MedlinePlus, thrush maps into "oral thrush". So "thrush" means "oral thrush", by common use. "Yeast infection" generally means "vaginal yeast infection", and "jock itch" is a yeast infection of the skin in the male genital area.That's today's lesson in Yankee-talk.
