Burning and ichy vagina/anal area
Posted: 03-15-08 13:23pm

I recently had a problem with my vagina. It was kind of ichy and then it started to kind of burn too. Eventually, when it was at its worse, my anal area was burning too! I haven't done anything different with my hygeine routine, and it seems to go away after a few days and then come back. It's about to drive me crazy..I have an appointment with my Dr., but not till a week from now. Anybody had anything like this? I feel like I used sand paper for toilet paper!! Oh, and I don't have any discharge or weird smells....and I'm a virgin...so no real concern about STD's. Please help!

It might be a yeast infection. Have you taken any antibiotics recently? Normally with a yeast infection you have burning, itching and some discharge. But you said that you didn't have any discharge. If it's not yeast, then maybe its a chemical sensitivity to something.

Yeah, no discharge and no antibiotics, but I was actually given a pill for a yeast infection a month ago...don't really know if it was really a yeast infection, but since my doctor books up really quickly, she called it in for me in the meantime. Seemed like it kind of got better, but now it's back! I'm not sure how long the one pill will last though?? Does anybody else?? My guess is that I'm either allergic to something (even though I've stopped using everything) or i've got bacterial infection...don't really know, wish I did!!! It's driving me nuts!! Guess I'll just have to wait till I see my Dr.

TRY LATEX FREE OR NON-LATEX CONDOMS. OR CONDOMS WITHOUT Nonoxidyl 9 Spermicide.

BUT DO NOT STOP USING CONDOMS!
I AM NOT A DOCTOR.

Could be a yeast infection


If it persists for more than a week after not having sex, and not usuing condoms, should see one just to be safe.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE!

SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR, BUT IN THE MEANTIME.... MAY WANT TO TRY TO SIT IN A BATH IN WATER AND WHITE VINEGAR.

ALSO HAVE HEARD/FOUND THAT TEA TREE OIL, A NATURAL ANTISEPTIC WORKS... OR AT LEAST RELIEVES THE ITCHING.

GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
