Im a 18 year old young women who just started having sex actually just got my virginity taken like 1 month or 2 ago i was at work today and realized that my anus was itching when my underwear was rubbing against it. mind u i do wear tight underwear sometimes so i walked in the restroom and took a pic and noticed this rash on my anus please someone help idk what to do i never really had a mom around to explain things like this to me i just dont know what to do it only burns when i pee but i didnt noticed it till later on in the day theres no pus or anything it just bleeds a little and i got really sensitive skin if that has anything to do with it im just scared it not on vagina or anything just around my anus

The image is kinda small but it might be irritation, maybe from excessive wiping?

I don’t think it resembles as herpes no. Detergent can also cause irritation try go with any perfume free intimate wash or just rinse with water
