Hi when i shave down there i get a rash i want to no why and how i can prevent this from happenin???
It's called razor burn-You aren't applying shaving cream, and if you are, you might be allergic to it. Try buying a "Sensitive skin" one. As well, Try to buy a good razor, and sometimes, when you shave 'upward' it causes this.
Hi when i shave down there i get a rash i want to no why and how i can prevent this from happenin??
i have large outer vagina lips and its stopping me from having sex or letting a guy touch me because it looks really weird and its completely knocking my self confidence down, is there any way to get rid of them or something?
Hi, I'm 18 and not a virgin. I know all vaginas look different, and I don't think this is anyting to worry about, but my urethra-i think that's what it's called-is further down that on most diagrams, and my vaginal opening is smaller..I don't think it's a prolapse or anything, because there's not swelling or pain, and in between my clitoris and urethra is just my pubic bone..so..I was just wondering if anyone else is the same?Or different to usual diagrams? thanks
my is different but i cant say my parts r dark is that normal.
Hi i have exactly the same problem as one of the girls what they have said. i am always sore after sex. during sex is great it doesnt hurt but it does after and it burns when i go to the toilet. i have a white smelly discharge and it gets queit bad normally. and always changing my underwear and i never have bubbly bath or use perfume products down there, i just wash regulary. ive been to a clinic and doctors a numerous amount of times and they have treated me with thrush and a bacterial infection and ive also had an swap test for everythink so i dont get what it is and i hate it being there? any chance you could help
Hey well this is kind of embarrassing but, i've never had sex before and i've started my period and everything but lately my inner labias the bit outsit of the vagina have been really itchy and looks a bit red and i don't know why! I was watching one of your shows and realised you could get like skin conditions down there and i have eczema and sirisus which appear occasionally so could this be the cause? I don't really want to have to go to the doctors because i don't really want to show them ahh!! Please help!
Does it get worse during your period? Sometimes the dampness can cause irritation, and if it does changing pads more frequently or using tampons could help. I would get itchy using pads so i switched to mainly tampons and it's much better.
