i just got home to do a self exam because i have really bad anxiety and i cant help but think something is wrong with me... i feel like i didnt notice this before and/or the healthcare provider didnt mention it or maybe didnt see it? i got std tested last week and negative. i had a yeast infection but its gone away now but can anyone help me? does this look normal? do i go back?! its near my vaginal opening and doesnt hurt. it was hard to get a picture but help! 😦

    I know it's hard as I suffer from extreme anxiety but try to think positive and that they have seen loads of vaginas and would of picked up if it was bad. Its just your anxiety creeping in. You could always book another appointment to get the reassurance you need and then work on ways to manage your anxiety (I don't mean for that to sound nasty) I am the same jusy looking for constant reassurance about stuff it's one of the symptoms of health anxiety. Try to do something to take your mind off it and don't Google it you'll make yourself worse. X

      Looks normal haha if its just like skin and isnt painful? looks like way i freaked out about when i first looked down their and fixated on thinking i had herpes and warts and all the lots! turns out i didnt and it had always been there but i have terrible anxiety too. our vaginas have lots of bumps and lumps around the opening and skin tags etc which are prrfectly normal. its so easy to be scared tho when women are taught nothing about what is and isnt normal about their vaginas! stay safe all looks fine ❤
