    Old blood looks brown, he could have scratched you. Is the discharge now coming out yellow or drying yellow? Drying yellow is normal. Your normal discharge will dry yellow when exposed to air.

    Different Types of Discharge:

    White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

    Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

    Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

    Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

    Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown. This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle.

    Different types of infections, which a girl can get at any time:

    Signs of yeast infections:

    White, cottage cheese-like discharge

    Swelling and pain around the vulva

    Intense itching

    Signs of bacterial vaginosis:

    A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge

    A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap

    Itching or burning

    Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

    See a doctor

    You can try the yeast infection medication but if that doesn't work it is a bacterial infection that is most commonly caused by hot tubs, tubs or water splashing off a dirty shower floor. Any girl can get it from baby girls to 100 year old woman sexually active or celibate virgin nuns. It has nothing to do with sex so don't let it stop you from asking your mom to see a doctor.
