I have a soreness and itching right at the top of my vulva, around where the lips meet. I have just checked it and there are flaky bits of dry crusty skin coming off and the sores are red and bleeding a little (probably due to so much scratching!) I don't think it can be an STD, as I only have one partner and he is fine. HELP
hello, some people have been commenting about white lumps, underneath the skin on the labia.
theres no need to panick these are called Vestibular glands which are commenly misinterpreted as herpies or warts
hope this helps you =)
on the inside of my vaginal lips i have lots of tiny white spot like bumps
what are they?
the skin clolour around the vagina is extremely dark especially on the valves. could this means something wrong?
Ever Since I Have Started Having Sex (COuple Unprotected), My Clitorus Is Quite Swollen, It Doesnt Hurt, But Can Get Quite Sore And Some Points, I Have Suffered From Thrush Twice, Mainly becuase Of Anti-biotics And The Pill (Not Mini Pill), But Im Very Worried I Would Have Caught Something.(He Did Have A Check Before, But I Didnt)
