Please excuse the graphic photo. I took a shower yesterday and it was hard to wash. I washed anyway and it became hard to rinse. Even warm water burned! I did change soaps ( dove sensitive to regular dove) and I do wear tight clothing sometimes. I had one small cut above my clittorus and a small red spot on the inner labia. Theres also a large lump on my inner thigh. ( I have these offen). The redness was gone the next day, but I still feel weird if I wear something tight. I plan to get tested tomorrow. What do you think?The photos are to show progress from each day. The one with the redness was directly after the shower. The one with the lump was the next morning and the third is from tonighg. image imageimage

    TO ME, it resembles irritation from soaps. Try using plain water and washing your under clothes in baking soda or free and clear detergent and see if that helps.

    Went to the doctor. She ruled our herpes because it cleared within a day, did not have ulcer like sores or anything that leaked or crusted over. Also got tested for yeast and BV. Nothing came back. She said it was irritation.
