Worried - Infection? Help, Please

I'm really worried right now. On the area
beside your vaginal entrance (not the
lips) btu like the area around that, is
really red. It's been itching for a few
days now too. I don't do any sexual
stuff, don't have my period, and barely
EVER maturbate (once or twice). Is it an
infection, if so, is it normal? I don't
want to have to go to a gynceologist
because no one's ever seen that part
except me..not even my mom..and I think
it'll be really embarassing... so please
help..

You might have a yeast infection. But,
sweetie, you'd have to go to a doctor to
find out.
Good luck!

You can get yeast infections or bacterial
infections from everyday life.
Yeast infections can be really, really
common. So can bacterial infections for
some women. It all depends.
You should go see a doctor. Eventually all
women have to go see a gynocologist
anyway... it can be a little 'creepy' and
you will never, ever 'enjoy' it - but it
is best to be healthy.

Yeast infections suck but they aren't so
bad. And the doctor will be really nice
about it, I promise!
They are usually accompanied by
thick/lumpy white or smelly discharge,
pain/burning during sex or even peeing,
redness and inflammation, and of course,
itching. They can be treated by over the
counter drugs, but the first few times you
get them, you need to get them diagnosed
by a doctor to make sure it's not
bacterial or you'll just make it worse.

Thanks...Yeah, I'd rather go to a doctor
than get some drugs that'll make it worse,
I just hope it's a girl doctor =)

go to the web md page on yeast infections
to see ways in which you can avoid getting
another one. They're awful.

I used to get them when I was your age.
Have you been taking any antibiotics?
Antibiotics kill all the bacteria(good and
bad) and this is when infections have a
party down there. Going to the doc is the
best option hun

Well tylenol wouldn't cause that, but good
thing you're going to the doctor.
