3 days ago, I woke up experiencing major pain & itching in my vaginal area, when I went to the bathroom, I seen little white scab like things stuck in the opening of my vagina. I googled what it could be & many said it was a yeast infection. I called my doctor the next day & he prescribed me one day dose of fluconazole over the phone. I immediately took the pill (2 days ago) & have not yet received any kind of relief. Now I'm questioning whether or not it is actually a yeast infection. I inspected my vaginal area last night & noticed a little bump next to my clitoris & another one inside of my vagina lip (I forgot what it's called) & there's A LOT of thick discharge. It hurt to urinate, BUT it does burn if the urine happens to touch my vagina. Is this really a yeast infection, or something worse?

As well, we are not medical professionals, and if we say we are, it's not necessarily true, I would advise you go see your doctor. or phone them again.
however, I'm not sure where you live, but it is better to go in to see your doctor, because they can do the proper tests to find out exactly what the issue might be.
I would go see them sooner rather than later, just in case it is something a lot worse than a yeast infection.

We aren't doctors at this site and anything we say would be guesswork at best and may in fact mislead or inadvertently harm so we can't and that's to your benefit believe it or not. We also cannot see what you are describing either.
In general if there is weird discharge and that which causes burning, itching, looks like cottage cheese or smells you have a problem. I doubt it's anything dire not an STD or somethig you will die from but rather a pain in the ass for the time being until checked and remedied.
Be sure to ask the doctor why you got this and what you need to do if anything different to ensure you don't experience it again or with any frequency in future. The only other thing to consider is how long the medication they gave you takes to do what it is supposed to. Look that up online and then book your appointment if that duration lapsed.
