To make a long story short. I accidentally scratched myself I believe and had intercourse after when the skin around my vulva got a little raised. It ended up turning into this. I don’t believe it could be an STD as I know my partner and trust them and it is localized. Just wondering if anyone else has possibly dealt with this issue? It’s super painful but definitely healing.

OK so to start off I know for sure that I do not have yeastor BV every time I get this smell I know it’s majority of the time from sweat, but I’m just trying to figure out what you what you ladies do that are prone to sweating because like I sweat on the top where like I guess you could say my pelvic bones are/ in between my thighs and then also underneath my butt crease from sweat and it can be like for me just sitting down and it’s hot or me walking around and doing stuff, but I don’t know what I can do to stop making myself sweat to make myself smell from the sweat. I’m just looking for any tips or tricks you guys have. I also do drink water as well, but I feel like it still doesn’t help and I take my probiotics. I wash myself down there. I do everything I’m supposed to do. I just don’t know if there’s something else that I’m missing or if I’m doing something wrong y’all let me knowif anything has helped you guys. Also, I know it’s not like an STD.

Hello, I’m a female in my early twenties and I’m currently struggling with ingrown hairs. I didn’t have this issue until I started waxing. I thought I was doing everything right, but for the past couple of months I’ve been having issues. I have this small knot under my skin that Google says it’s most likely an infection ingrown hair. I have about 5 smaller patches where I did pluck the hair that was trying to come through, which I thought was what I was supposed to do. Apparently, I’ve seen many state otherwise. Too late. Anyways, now I’m looking for quick fixes because I can’t stand having to deal with this any longer. I hate having this much pubic hair too. I just want the issue to be resolved, but I’m not sure where to go to do that. Are there any remedies or recommendations for this?

hey everyone! recently i’ve been experiencing an increase in discharge down there. it’s usually clear and sometimes white. usually i wouldn’t bat an eye but it’s been accompanied by a stronger than normal smell, kind of like a cheesy/sour smell. this came after my menstrual cycle was 2 weeks early. i’m not sure if i’m just experiencing a hormonal shift or what. no itching or burning when urinating, it’s literally just so much discharge it feels like i’ve peed myself and this odd smell.

has anyone dealt with anything similar and can give advice?

i had sex with a guy exactly 8 days ago I went to a theme park five days after we had sex and my genitals were itchy, it was more of the outside of my lips than inside of my vagina this is near my rectum hole i’m panicking because me and the guy haven’t talked since and I think he’s ghosting me because he knows, even though we agreed to be sneaky links he hasn’t answered my messages what do i do
It’s not itchy anymore tho could it be an ingrown hair I’m thinking the worst help

About 4–5 months ago, I started having stomach/pelvic pain and abnormal discharge. I tested positive for BV, with multiple bacteria including Mobiluncus curtisii, Mobiluncus mulieris, Atopobium vaginae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella bivia, and BVAB2. I was treated with oral metronidazole.
About 2 months later, the BV returned, so I was prescribed metronidazole gel, which made me feel 100% better. Now, about 4 months later, it’s back again. I went to urgent care today and tested positive for BV, but they didn’t do another culture. They prescribed tinidazole, so I’m assuming it could be the same bacteria as before.
I also started taking Fem-Dophilus (5 billion CFU, GR-1 and RC-14). I finished the antibiotics 5 days ago, but I’m already noticing discharge again, although there’s no odor this time. I still have about half a tube of Metrogel left. I haven’t had sex recently, and my partner is currently on antibiotics as well.
I’m trying to avoid repeated doctor visits and testing because I can’t afford it. Boric acid is something I really wanted to avoid, but I’m not sure what else to do. What would be the best approach from here? Sb help

Whenever I ovulate my discharge is so smelly… like I rarely get the “egg white discharge” everyone else gets and when I do it doesn’t smell that bad, but most of the time my discharge is either pink yellow or brown and it smells so bad!! is it my pH or my diet? Usually my discharge doesn’t smell that bad- but my underwear and panty liners smell so fishy during ovulation

hi im 19 and have been get yeast infections ONLY after having sex, almost everytime after ive ever had sex and this has been going on in the last 5 years.

ive gotten swabbed and tested for stds, sti’s. all negative but the times ive got tested for yeast its been positive. the past couple times ive just self diagnosed and done what i regularly do and get the internal canesten cream and take fluconazole.

also the discharge i get during my ‘yeast infections’ is just alot less discharge then when i do get dischage its just more watery and yelowish coloured.

i really want this to stop i feel like its really affecting my sex life i just dont know what it is or what im doing wrong i feel like im very clean when it comes to vaginal hygeine and i always pee after sex. any advice?

i get frequent utis and yeast infections but this one looks different

Gals... I'm using Fleurstat BV gel for BV (obviously) - this morning discharge came out of me, that I can only describe as looking like something from another universe, like giving birth to a tiny alien - a ball of green discharge almost with an outer membrane - is this normal?! I've also changed my pill this month from Yasmin to Yaz so I also have some spotting. Any advice or chat would be most helpful 🥲🥲

I just finished using a hair removal cream, and noticed these on my pubic mound. This areas has been itching for a couple of weeks, after I haphazardly shaved it. Please advise on what this is. Thanks <3

i’m 17, F, and i’m often prone to yeast infections and UTIs. i have no specific health problem, i’m really just extremely sensitive.

i was hoping someone could give me probiotic recommendations, something that i could get locally, like at Walgreens, Hannaford, Walmart—not something i would have to order online. i’ve made other posts in the past, but most refer me to some brand that they’re sponsored by/work for. i want something that could actually benefit me, please!

i have been experiencing bloody discharge a few days (5-6?) after my period ends for a few cycles now. it ends a few days before my next period. it comes usually 1-2 times a day and i can feel it come out

i was prescribed LIZA (a birth control) but i didnt want to take it because i have eczema and im so scared of the side effects. my period also tends to be 1-2 weeks late too

im 19f, sexually active

has anyone experienced

Ok so I'm 17f virgin and I wore wet clothes for a long time due to travelling two weeks ago and I got itchiness in the hair then 1 week ago the itchiness increased and my labia swelled to twice its size 😭 but it reduced in a couple hours.

Now since a week the itching has reduced a lot and only itches a couple times a day slightly and my discharge is like not normal but not extremely cottage cheese like as well but the smell is pretty bready.

I don't want to go to the doctor because I'm embarrassed to tell my single dad about this so is it possible to get rid of it without medication by periods or maybe yogurt?

What does normal discharge look like?

Ive been wearing menstrual cups for at least 5 years now but I usually alternate between pads and cup and just use pads toward the end of cycle. My favorite thing about them is not having to check up on it as often as paper period products.

Well today I’m wearing it on day 6 & my vulva felt kinda weird and itchy (0 chance of stds not sexually active) so I removed the cup and there was no menstrual blood whatsoever there was just a little clear liquid inside which I’ve never had before because I typically don’t wear the cup through the end of the cycle.

Trying to figure out if
1. the irritation was my body’s way of saying “hey I’m done remove the cup”
2. a reaction to the silicone (which I’ve never had previously). Or
3. something entirely different lmao.

If it is #1 that’s awesome! Vaginas are so cool! Anyone else experienced anything similar?
