Vulvar redness, rawness HELP!!

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi community. ive been experiencing some weird things happening down there. At first I thought it was because of rough sex, however it keeps coming back every month. I have not been sexually with anyone for a while. Got it checked back in September, but by the time i went to the doctor I had no symptoms. Doc said everything looked normal, however if i experience it again i should go back. (the problem is that by the time i get an appointment it will highly likely to be gone again 😄)

Its just red and feels a little sore/dry, but is giving me pain during intercourse. Anyone has any idea what could it be? much appreciated

    Hi, have you noticed a pattern with your period? Are you on the pill? It could be hormone related.

      hi. i wasn't really paying attention to that. i'll keep an eye whether it is related to my period or not. could it be yeast or bv?

      It's possible. A swab test would be a good idea. Try to avoid any type of contact : Tampons, soap, lube. Just plain water in case it's contact dermatitis.

    dian, do you see white bumps/sores at the bottom of your vaginal opening? it kinda looks like it in the picture but not really clear. absolutely go see your gyno so you can get this cleared up and not experiencing painful intercourse.
