Do I have to go to a doctor if I have vaginal thrush or can I just go to a pharmacy?

Question

I think I have a vaginal mycosis... I have small red pimples that itch on the vulva (the labia majora) no it's the first time, my usual smell smells more but no fishy smell as we often say

Good morning, ma'am, Have you had this problem in the past? Do you have any other symptoms such as unusual discharge or odor? Thanks for the feedback. Given your symptoms and that this is the first time, it is usually recommended to consult a doctor to rule out other causes. You can try a treatment for yeast vaginitis in a pharmacy, your pharmacist will be able to tell you which one according to the inventory and your preferences, but you should not delay the medical consultation if it persists after 3 days of treatment. I hope I've been helpful, I'm still available if you have any other questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
