I am new here so quite embarrassed but wondering if anyone can help.

A while ago I was raped and since then I have had this rash it is really ichy and painful but the thing is it is mainly not around the vagina it is further back and so I dunno what it could be. It is basically a rash which is really ichy and sore at times and it won't go away no matter what I use on it. I am too embarrassed to go to the doctor :oops:

does anyone know what it could be???

Don't be embarrassed there are tons of helpful people on here that wont judge you!

I'm sorry to hear about the rape it must have been a horrible experience. I think theres a forum on here to talk about that to!

He probably gave you some type of infection, bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or he could have given you a nasty std. The only way your going to get rid of bv and std's is going to the doctor to put you on antibiotics. You might have to go back a few times because they can be pretty tough to get rid of sometimes!
