Try just cleaning with water and see what happens. If it don't clear up you might want to check with a doctor. I used to get really irretable downstairs. I never found out what the problem was and it just cleared up after about a month. Hope this helps, sorry if not.

Dont clean your vagina with soap.You can clean the outer labia but not inside.Soap can cause irritation. I get irritated if foam gets inside when I shave down there.Are you having any discharge?.

Seen as u brought up shaving. Do u shave the whole area ? Coz I do and it's annoyin when it grows coz the hairs start to dig in. I hate hair down there and like to be all clean and stuff. Removal cream is rubbish and wax sounds scary. What u think ?

Yes I do shave the whole area atleast every 2/3 weeks .It was very irritating when I started shaving.But I dont allow my hair to grow there much coz it starts itching.If u shave down once a week u wont even feel anything.Do apply good skin otion like aveeno.
I agree cremoval creams sucks.

Hi everyone, I have a bit of a dilema. A month or so ago I shaved my vigina and I got a horrible horrible rash, it was terribly itchy too, thankfully, it went after a few weeks, so after that, I thought i'd try a hair removal cream. That didn't give me a rash, it was a bit crap at removing hair though. However I think I might have got a bit of the cream around my clitoras and now whenever I touch it in a certain place it really hurts, not like a pain of any kind, but it's more like as if you've just had an orgasm nd touching down there again is just a bit too much, anyone know what I mean? Anyone know how to help with this?

Did you use a hair removal cream specifically for the pubic area? I'm just asking because the other ones state they shouldn't be used for 'sensitive' areas.
If you're worried i'd ask your nurse/doctor.

It didnt say it was meant for that area, it is for *sensitive* people though, but i've used it once before and it was fine. Theres definately a bit of irritation around there now though.

She said when I 1st went their with the rash she thought it was herpes I was like don't play around cuz I know I don't have I was just tested the month before its a rash from that hair removal stuff. But she checked me anyway and it came back negative it was a yeast infection. It had no smell or funny discharge either. But I knew I didn't have nothing cuz I always take my fiance with me when I get my pap smears but she just wanted to be sure n ya never know better safe then sorry. I trust my man but I trust my doctor more lol holla..Hope I helped. :)
