View 1 RepliesI have a what seems to be a rash around my bikini line. It is making my skin uneven and itchy down there. I am getting open sores down there as well. I am not sure how I got this. I haven't been sexually active in over 4 months and this just started occurring maybe for a week now. It started with just an it here and there but it has gotten so much worse. When it first started, I was putting neosporin on the rash but it just got worse. Now I am putting African Shea butter on it and it stops the itching. I really need to know what it is or at least try to treat it.
View 1 RepliesI am 16. Female. Never done anything sexual so i am 100% sure this is not a std or anything of the sorts. SO, i started to shave young (pubic hairs..bikini line, vaginal area) at 12 or 13. And ever nice i started i would get these in grown hairs. I am half black - so i guess i am prone to that (curly hair growing inwards). But now almost my entirety of my inner thighs are covered with these dark marks and scars. And too many ingrown hairs. I am too embarrassed to go swimming, I never wear shorts because you can see them. Also I have these sick pimples down there... Waxing - - the scars are still there! When i was younger - i was dumb enough to pick at them and.. well it is just getting worse over the years. !
View 14 RepliesWhen i shave my bikini area i get really bad pimples and bumps. I know this is extremely disgusting. I use shaving cream, and a new razor. I tried shaving with the hair like some other sites told me to, but too much hair is left, i simply can't shave like that. The only way i can get rid of all of the hair is if i shave against it. I soak it with warm water for at least 15 minutes, then apply the shaving cream, then use a new razor, and afterwards i'll dry it well and usually apply petroleum jelly and some kind of antibacterial cream to stop the bumps or wipe it with alcohol. My pubic mound is now covered with pimple scars and is discolored, is there anyway i can make my vagina look normal again?

View 1 RepliesThis is something I remember having as long as I've been paying attention to my vagina. But, I'm not sure if it's normal that just above the vaginal hole (inside my labia), instead of going in, my vulva (I think that's what it's called) goes out and there are tiny rough lump things.
I have ignored it until now because I assumed that it was normal. It isn't very noticeable or discolored or itchy - but if i rub it or touch it too much it is ever so slightly sore (but that could just be because the vagina is sensitive?).
Also, very occasionally I experience a very faint, not painful burning-type sensation when I pee but I always assume it is because I haven't had a shower in a while and it usually goes after I wash.
Oh, and I get a lot of discharge, too. I think this is normal because it isn't a weird color or anything but it comes out in a big lump sometimes if I haven't gone to the loo to wipe it off in a while. I wear black underwear and it appears white on top of that.
I really don't want to go to the doctor unless completely necessary, but could someone please let me know if I'm going to have to see a doctor or if it is normal? By the way, I'm a complete virgin and haven't ever had any kind of oral, penetration, or anything else, sex. But, I have masturbated.
What is a better way to shave besides a razor
View 1 Repliesthere's an elongated lump on my inner thigh and it hurts to walk. i am 15 and not sexualy active and i don't feel comfortable talking about this with my mom. it doesn't have an opening or anything and i don't have good pain tolerance. but if i ice it and stick a clean needle in it will i solve this? it hurts soooo bad and im glad im not the only one.
View 1 RepliesI used to shave my bikini area (really badly) and about a year ago I got just 1 bump - the size of a pea - and it's been there forever now and it just won't go away!! There's no white head or anything since it's just the exact colour of my skin, it doesn't hurt at all but it's just a bit embarrassing!! I've tried creams and needles but it's still there... any ideas on what this could be???

View 2 Repliesi had unprotected sex on SUNDAY sept 1(pull out), plus oral and protected a week or two before that.
***note: it happened on burning man, with no shower, little water, a lot of sun, and i knew this guy was drinking a lot and taking drugs and not sleeping for a week. it was the end of the day 2 for me and i took a small amount of MDMA that day.]
5-7 days later i was feeling tenderness and a little tingling burning pain, but thought it was my period, which was unusually heavy as i`m on birth control.
MONDAY sept 9 i knew something was wrong. the tingling got worse and i went to some doctor i knew for blood test and he also gave me DOXYCYCLINE (he s not a gynecologist) i also asked for ACYCLOVIR in case have herpes. i started taking them at 4pm
TUESDAY morning i threw up with yellow stuff and had a lot of green/yellow/brown watery then cottage cheese discharge, which became yellow watery and by the end of the day pink. pain got worse
WEDNESDAY morning i went to free clinic, where they told me most likely it CHLAMYDIA or GONORREA, told me to continue doxy and gave me shot for gonorrea
THURSDAY i noticed the discharge got water and thicker, pain was still there. in the afternoon after a long flight and traveling i noticed red single BUMPS on my skin in my bikini area, between ******* and vagina and above the clitoris, some of the hurt, some itch, not considerably. 7 in total, plus one on the labia, just not sure if that`s a bump. the next day 2 of them had water inside. i immediately texted my friend i knew he has herpes and he said it looked like it 99% and we now can be in relationship ha! i wasn't sleeping all night, googling and googling, pain seemed to increase and the bumps itched a little bit.
FRIDAY i went to my gynecologist and he said it`s not herpes(the culture text will be ready in 10 days), not even STD, but YEAST. He said you are not supposed to be treated without knowing the reason and doxycycline is old and not supposed to be taken for a week but for 2 days. also the std test will show only in 2 weeks after the exposure.
stopped taking meds and taking xre of my yeast now, hoping for the best. and i got my lesson!!
I shaved with a razor that was a little rusty. I Didn't realize this until after I was done... Ive developed this strange rash...its itchy. Not raised or open sore. Looks somewhat like blotches of birthmarks around my bikini line. Its lighter when my skin is dry. Right out of the shower it turns more red. Outline is a darker red. Inside is lighter shade....?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 sebaceous cysts on my bikini line area near my rear end. They have both gotten infected and I put ice on them to bring down the inflammation. When the infection was gone, I put hot compresses on them to help get them to form a head and when they started to drain, I helped by squeezing them. I have been using antibacterial soap in that area and they haven't come back so far.
When I was first diagnosed that these were sebaceous cysts, my OB GYN had said that it was best to not have surgery because of their location. She had prescribed antibiotics - which didn't help.
I didn't see a lot of comments about cysts by females in the bikini line region, so I wanted to share my experience in case someone else has them in that area of their body. I wish there was an easier and less painful way to get these suckers off of me, but I have yet to find a way.
A few days ago, my boyfriend and I had (rough) protected sex which left my vagina very sore especially around the outside. Upon returning from the gym today, I noticed a few bumps inside my vagina lips / right around my vagina hole. I haven't worked out in a while and I will be getting my period in the next two to three days, so could it just be acne? I looked at images of possible stds but did not find anything that looked like what I have. They are very small, not too sore to touch, red pimple like bumps.
View 1 RepliesI have this pimple on my bikini line, it's been there for days doesn't really bother me. I haven't been shaving recently so I think I got it from friction. Doesn't hurt at all or cause pain closed bump red surface with a white head. I would send a picture but I don't know how.

I understand that I should see a physician if I notice anything a little off, but I was hoping I could get some advice prior to this, in case it is nothing to worry about or some form of self-care I could provide myself.
A couple of weeks ago I began experiencing occasional itching in the anal region and felt bumps there as if I had a rash in the area. At that time I did not visually see anything. These symptoms began a few days after I had shaved that area and the itching is only on one side.
Today I tried to look and see if I could visualize anything and I saw some rash-like bumps in the areas that itch so I applied some cortisone gel and that helped to ease the itching.
However, upon further inspection of my genital area I noticed a few pimple-looking bumps inside my vagina on the edge towards the anus. I have never noticed them before and without me visually inspecting them I wouldn't have known they were there, as they do not hurt. However they do hurt if I touch them like a fresh acne pimple would on other body parts, but more sensitive considering the location.
What should I do for the itching? Keep applying topical cortisone?
Is it possible to get pimples inside of the vagina? What can I do for that? (besides seeing a ob/gyn)
Can it cause a rash on your vaginal area?
View 7 RepliesI feel my vaginal opening is small and tight, which causes pain and difficulty in penetration. I used to do digital penetration and am able to insert two of my fingers together, but it doesn't seem to dilate while penis insertion. What could be a possible treatment? Would dilators work or will I need to undergo a surgery?
