Vaginal Health :: Peeling Skin Around My Vagina
Oct 21, 2011
I have been feeling an uncomfortable, rubbing sensation around my vagina. I went to the look at it not too long a go and it hurt to pee. I then noticed a that it was bleeding slightly, as though I've got a scratch around the area. Being a 14 year old girl, and not having had sex, I wasn't quite sure what it was. I took a shower afterwards, and the area was extremely sensitive to touch. I later discovered that the lips around the vagina (i think it's called the labia) were red. All around this area, and around the clitoris is raw and the skin seems to be peeling off. I also have very awful smelling discharge. It's a dark yellow in color, then turns brown later on. I am really worried, and have no idea what this is. I have missed two of my periods, although I think it's alright since I just started this February. As i said before, i have never had sex, is it an infection? Is there anything i can do to soothe the pain? Will it just go away?

I am 15 and I have recently been looking at my vagina and I have noticed it does not look like normal vaginas. It has all These weird extra pieces of skin that does not look right and they are kinda small but they do not look right. They are not skin tags or anything like that.

A few days ago, my vagina was itchy and I think I scratched it too hard because it became raw and sensitive and there were red-ish stuff underneath my fingernails.
the next day my boyfriend fingered me and there was blood, quite a lot in fact. it looked as though I had my period. however, I already had my period this month. I suspected its because my vagina was raw from the scratching and the fingering made it bleed.
today, I realized that the areas where I scratched had formed dry skins/scar-like stuff.

So I'd generally be super embarrassed about this but I really need help here and I don't have ready access to my doctor right now. I am seventeen and Have been sexually active for almost a year now, sex has ALWAYS hurt, I can't remember it ever really feeling good. I haven't noticed this until now, and I can't imagine it's been there for a year without me noticing it.. but i have a bit of skin at the top of my lovely little lady bits (vagina hole) its not abnormally colored and it doesn't really hurt. The reason i mentioned the painful sex earlier was because i am wondering if that could be the cause of it? but anyway i noticed it sticking out a little earlier last week and I'm sort of worried, I've been reading and am now wondering if it could be a part of my hymen still attached to me? But I'm worried if i try to have sex again that it'll hurt? I'm also worried that it's NOT my hymen and something more serious?

I am only 15 and when I take my tampon out pretty much every time it gets stuck on this strip of skin and it was slightly painful. I stopped using tampons after I discovered it thinking that it will go away in time, but a year later I had to use them again when I was on holiday and I found out that it was still there. Please help me I don't know if I should stop using them! I am worried about when I loose my virginity or when I give birth that it will cause problems and just be messy and even more uncomfortable.

I have a slightly embarrassing problem. Over the opening of the vagina I have a string of skin from one side to the other. It can hurt when it gets too dry or when I sit on a funny angle as it sometimes protrudes. It doesn't interfere with sex but is annoying and uncomfortable.
Could it be a skin tag? If so, what can be done about it? What else could it be?

I recently got married and you could not imagine the depression (especially after waiting for our wedding night) that loomed over me because I felt like....to be blunt... I had a gross vagina. I always made genital health a priority and it seemed the more I kept myself clean, the worse the problem got. At my breaking point, (keep in mind I am african american- thus brown skinned) the skin in the crease of my bikini line, the entire vulva, my perineum, and my butt crack were bright pink, raw, cracked, and bleeding. yet still itchy. I saw 3 gynecologists, 2 dermatologists, and 1 primary care physician. All of whom diagnosed me with lichen simplex and then lichen simplex chronicus. Imagine my relief (the first time!) I then started a laundry list of creams and ointments that just made it worse in some way or another. The list includes: Lidocaine solution, Desitin, Rx strength hydrocortisone, triamcinolone acetonide, Miconazole cream 2% and 200 mg capsules, Clobetasol Propionate ointment and the cream, Sarna lotion that was refrigerated (although scintillating when applied to the problem area, i wanted relief not pleasure), Triple Antibiotic ointment, estrace cream, clotrimazole Betamethasone cream, domeboro soaks, and lastly nystatin powder. Believe it or not, the best one out of all of these was the powder. I was just about to give up when I broke down to a very close friend who happens to be a primary care physician (He is 31 years old, for those who care) while getting dressed up for my new bridegroom I told my friend about the problem and was looking for something to emotionally prepare me for the coming night. I wanted to tear down walls when he GLANCED at my problem area, shrugs his shoulders and says......"ok, so you have jock itch. It's not the end of the world."Yes ladies. It was JOCK ITCH! Unfortunately it was too late to save my honeymoon. However I went to Walmart, purchased Bacitracin and a few different jock itch treatments and started immediately. In two days the symptoms had relieved themselves and the only issue remaining was this feeling like I had cuts in my pubic hair area right at the hood of my clitoris. PAINFUL!!!! It just wouldn't go away. Finally, after babying it, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get a closer look. Against better judgement I used an ELECTRIC razor (it left very short stubble which I wanted. Last thing I needed was to nick the skin or get razor bumps). Once completely bald, I hopped in the shower, washed the area well (it burned) washed with summer's eve vaginal shower wash (burned a little too), got out, dried off, and then applied straight bacitracin to the ENTIRE pubic area. I suggest if you are going to try this, right before you do it, take a deep breath and remind yourself of all the sleepless painful itchy nights. Why? Because it burned like I was exorcising the devil out of my clitoris! After about 5-10 second, it stops burning and I go to bed. Since then, I have used the Tinactin (jock itch spray on powder) from time to time. I am happy to say I have not touched an antifungal product in two weeks. All signs of the problem are gone. ALSO my skin is back to normal. If you are worried about scarring, it didn't happen to me.
I had sleepless nights and embarrassing days for TWO years fighting this damn LICHEN SIMPLEX (which just means dry skin FYI) when all I needed was some jock itch cream.

I have been masterbating for 6 years. I noticed about a year ago that my vagina lips have skin a lot of skin hanging off of them. I think it was maybe masterbating to much or to hard. I looked in a porno and I saw girls have the same thing . I just want to know if its normal and if not can I get it surgically removed.

For a couple weeks now, my vagina has been red, irritated, and itches like mad, and the perineum (I think that's what it's called.. The skin between the vagina and the anus) is ripped slightly. I've looked up several things - but I'm not getting any sort of smelly or nasty discharge. I'm not sexually active and haven't been for over a year, (I don't even masturbate.) but I do take birth control simply for the period control. I've been on birth control for about three years now and haven't had any problems with it lately.
I've never been to the gynecologist, as my doctor made a deal with me and I don't 'have' to go until I turn nineteen. I'd much rather avoid that at all costs. I have a vaginal cream that's to be used when itchy or irritated - but it says for outside use only.. So I don't know if I can use it on the irritated place which is on the inner labia - not the outer.

It started as redness and itching then a horrible red swelling-I went to the STD clinic yesterday absolutely terrified and the Dr assured me it was not warts and not herpes-she said she'll test for herpes just in case but as she was doing the test she said 'this is a spot,if it comes back as herpes i'll be VERY surprised, it really doesn't look like it at all, this is just for your piece of mind'. She seemed very sure I was okay for that. She examined me and did a smear, had a proper look at my vulva and said I was being silly, this is just a spot and not to worry at all.
I stupidly had sex this morning (my boyfriend and I have been together 2 years).
Today it's worse, it's horribly angry looking, red and swollen and sore. I've put on antiseptic cream-I'm relieved it's not an STD but at the same time, what on earth is it-if it's just a spot, it's bacterial-I shave so I guess I could have caused it, hurt my skin, it's in a dodgy area right at the top of my slit so it's enclosed and that area is all warm and enclosed I suppose so it'll heal slower than a spot anywhere else.
What can I do to help it heal faster and stop the infection spreading? I'm so scared :( Anybody else had anything like this?

I have a bad odor coming from my vagina when I sweat. It makes my pants smell in the crotch area. Sometimes it happens when I'm not sweating. I use a feminine wash and spray, but no change (good or bad). I asked my dr and she doesn't have an answer for me.

Recently I noticed skin or texture on my vagina that I'm not sure was there before. On my labia minora near the top there are many small circular growths almost in a straight line. They are very tiny, fleshy looking, and soft. They don't really bother me I'm just not sure if they are normal? Also, near my vagina opening there is a piece of skin probably 1/4 long just attached to the side of the opening. It is pink/fleshy colored and lighter on the tips. I don't think its a wart but I'm not sure. I am 19 and not sexually active. However, I have had warts on my fingers. Could these be spread to genitals? Also are these growths normal or worrisome? Thanks. Also, experiencing no pain, itchiness, or burning.

I've been actively seeking help on this problem as I'm so worried and confused. I'm 18 years old and in a monogamous relationship with a guy I've been dating for 4 years. We've never ever had previous partners, and we both lost our virginity to each other. I've never been concerned about STD's before, but a recent event has me worried. We had sex about a week and a half before the date I'm posting this (1/22), and yesterday evening I started noticing an itching/rash-like pain in my vagina. It doesn't hurt when I urinate, it only hurts to the touch. There's no abnormal discharge, either, and I know I'm not pregnant. However, I did take a flashlight and a mirror up there and noticed very small bumps-- some had white heads and some were pink-- in my vagina.. Are these normal? What are they? I have never had a yeast infection before so I'm not sure if this is what I have.

This is embarrassing but I found a pea sized lump in my vagina. I'm still a virgin and I have my period and have had them for about 3 years and their normal but I first noticed this when I tried to use a tampon but it hurt. And then a few days ago I tried to finger myself (my friend suggested that I shout try it) and I only used one finger and I felt small bumps and it felt like when I tried to use the tampon... But like I said I have never had sex and the pea sized lump freaks me out heaps and I'm not sure if its because I'm a virgin or yeah please help me I'm to scared to see a doctor or tell my mother!!!
Also my hymen doesn't fully cover my vagina "hole" but it looks small but yeah anyways.

I am 26 year old virgin and having vaginal infection, it was swollen and itchy with thick white odorless discharge. I went to gynecologist and told symptoms without any examination cause i was requested her not to do so and she gave me candistat for candida infection treatment. Now the itchiness and discharge is almost gone, swelling is no more but it is reddish pink from inside what i checked by taking images, and I can see a lump kinda thing at the opening. I am afraid if it is some kind of bad lump that need some attention. I can attach the image here.
