i just started my period on sunday and i was bleeding a lot, as usual, but this particular time i was wiping a lot and very often and my vagina starting feeling really raw. yesterday, i noticed that it started getting itchy and there was this yellow crusty stuff on my vagina lips. i took a bath yesterday and washed it off, but i think really just scraped it off. i started using cardboard tampons tuesday morning and sometimes they irritate me, so i decided to stop using tampons last night. i still feel itchy today, maybe a little less than yesterday. i noticed the crusty stuff was back and im not sure if it’s from discharge or if it’s scabs that i’ve just been washing off. i felt inside my vagina and it’s extremely bumpy. i know whenever i get a yeast infection, it obviously swells up inside and its normally bumpy, but i’m pretty sure it’s not ever this bumpy. is this herpes, genital warms, something else, or do you think its just the ruggae thats swollen?
do you have psoriasis ?
no i don’t! i have dry sensitive skin though
doesnt really look like herpes it just look irritated and inflamed . you can try some mind of antibacterial soap and ointment on the outsode of it but for the inside just clean really well and take like ibuprofen or something for inflammation and see if that helps any.
thanks, i think you might be right! it itches so bad. kind of feels like a yeast infection, but there’s not a ton of discharge
looks like irritation, would try to see if it gets better over the next few days and apply some cream. worst case its just dry skin and youll have to see a doc to get a prescription.
