I have thick white discharge, lower abdominal pain, and white scaley rash and red pimple like bumps near vagina . I took pics but not sure how to upload. Is this a bad yeast infection (I recently had and medicine didn't work) or is this an std! Thanks

yeast or std?

@curiouslala Welcome to the forums and thanks for your question.
Have you been sexually active recently?

@DrJ Thank you for replying to me! I appreciate it as I have been worried and obsessively googling and freak out! Doctor cant get me in right away so trying to be patient. YES I have been sexually active. I am not in committed relationship and been dating and usually just keep to oral and hand play. however, someone took further against my will and unprotected. I have been very worried. he wasnt inside long and didnt ejaculate but he did rub it and put inside. Does this look like a disease? Lately I have suffered from back to back yeast infections and the Difulcan helped at first but still came back. so i wondered if a rash from yeast. i noticed skin to be little irritated and then I shaved few times which made it turn into this!! yikes! but over past few days but discharge is less thick and more milky white and the skin is healing. looks very dry and flakey. PLEASE HELP :0

Sorry to hear about your experience. Irritation from shaving can also cause rashes. However, I would definitely recommend that you see a physician to test for sexually transmitted infections. A walk-in clinic may be a quicker option for you depending where you are if your doctor can't see you right away.
It's definitely an instinct to google your symptoms. I find that a lot of times it just leads to confusion and A LOT of anxiety. Your priority is to get in front of doctor. If your current doctor can't help figure out why you have recurrent yeast infections, then perhaps getting a second opinion would be worth while. -
@DrJ Thank you. I went to the doctor today but its basically healed on its own. She said the pictures were confusing and needed to see in person but barely anything remained which made her think it was irritation from shaving. she told me to stop shaving down there but i dont like hair and never had this problem before. she said i looked healthy down below but ran tests so when i find out ill keep you posted. Google is the worst! If you google, you think you are dying! And it can be an innocent rash/irritation. crazy. thank u!
