Ok so Im 13/f and I have NOT had sex or any sexual experience but I have kissed a guy before and I have masterbated once.
For about a week now, I have been having this rash thing around my vaginal area. It is big and I cant go swimming because it will show through my bathing suit because it is very large. I told my mom about the rash and showed her and she got me this cream stuff from the cupports in our kitchen and it is called 'Cortizone-10' for external use. I have been using it for a few days now and it isnt going away. It stops the irritation but does not get rid of the rash. Advice?
Also, should I start shaving pubic hair because it also shows through my bathing suit and I do not want that.. so should I?

Hey there,
Okay this could be a multitude of things. None of us on here are doctors so of course we cannot give you a diagnosis.
If I was to hazard a guess I would say it's thrush,but again I'm not a doctor.
Thrush is a form of a yeast infection and can occur without any sexual activity at all. It's very common.
I use a cream called Canestine. I find it very effective.
Sometimes however if a cream is not clearing it may be because the infection is internal. In this case you may need to take a tablet to clear it up.
As regards shaving that is completely up to you. If you are feeling self conscious then it wouldn't do any harm. Especially for swimming.
However I would advise you to wait until your rash is cleared up as shaving may irritate it further. Also shaving can leave you very itchy and there is a risk of developing painful ingrown hairs if you don't do it properly. Waxing,although slightly painful is a much more convenient method.
Talk to your mom about the rash again tell her it's not cleared up and go see a doctor.
Good luck and much
