Constant redness
Posted , 14 users are following.
ive been having constant redness between my labia minora and labia majora. When i spread it this picture below is what it looks like. Clobetasol seems to make the irritation go away. I have an appt on wednesday ... in nov i tested negative for bacterial and fungal infections. My actual vagina doesnt bother me just inbetween my labias and the top of my labia minora gets super red as well. Any idea what this could be. I changed my underwears to all cotton, been washing with all free and clear... its not itchy juSt gets very red and its not annonying because i know when its red

Or you have had an allergic reaction to something and they will do some tests to find out what - then treat your symptoms and give you after care on how to avoid it
My biggest advise is if you aren’t happy with a dr that fobes you off - ask to be referred

I can vouch that your vagina can look like this without an infection. I've spent the last few months being tested and nothing. x

Your problem sounds exactly like mine! I've had it for a year and a half and can't get rid of it. The only difference is that steroid cream helped you and it did not help me, but I'm ultra sensitive to everything so that could be why. I've actually seen a specialist and she thinks it is lichen sclerosis but I don't have the white patches that are the main symptom. My symptoms don't really match any of the symptoms of the main vulvar conditions except perhaps regular irritation or an allergic reaction, but those conditions wouldn't last a year and a half so who knows. I'm going to see another specialist soon so I'll let you know if I find anything out, and please do the same! The only thing that has really helped (it's kept the severe irritation at bay though I still have the redness) is spraying the area a few times a day with a mixture of organic, cold-pressed witch hazel, a little bit of lavender oil, a little bit of Vitamin E oil and a little bit of castor oil, but I still have flare ups and the redness is still there even on my best day, it's just not "as" red. Anyway, good luck and definitely keep me posted!

Do you have any updates? I am suffering with severe vulva issues. Had a biopsy done - it just showed hypersensitivity, no cancer, infection or skin condition. I am using clobetasol steroid ointment but it isn’t helping much. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi Carrie,
I have very similar issues, I'm very red and sore, almost 'burnt'. I'm heading down the route of vulvodynia or unprovoked dya-something-or-other.
Would be interested to hear what they say x

Click / tap on my name and you will see a list of my posts. The one you want is 'how i cured my vulvodynia'. It is a long journey that requires a lot of determination, but it is possible to be pain free again. I have been pain free for about 5 years now.
