My crotch incessantly itches, wich I know can be a symptom of an STD/STI, but I'm a virgin (no one other than me has touched it since I was a baby). I've had problems with urinary tract infections in the past. So should I really be worried? 14/f
xOchErrytWistOx answered Wednesday October 19 2005, 8:03 pm: If you shave, it's totally normal to be itchy. If you don't shave its pretty normal too. If you see lots of red bumps (if your not shaving) and you have come in contact with another girl or boys pubic area (even by sharing underwear, sweats, washcloths, beds, sheets, anything!) you could have scabies/crabs. These arent just sexually transmitted. They jump from person to person even if you arent having sex. You can have scabies on your arms and your pubic area, it just all depends. If you have think you have crabs (public lice .. actually looks like the lice you would see in your hair) this is a trick about them: stand in front of a mirror naked. The crabs will think that there's a totally new pubic area to infest and jump off you and hit the mirror. Totally serious, a doctor told me this. Try that if you think its crabs, what can it hurt?

ScratchesOnTheWall answered Wednesday October 19 2005, 12:35 pm: sounds like it could be Thrush. Loads of women (and men) get it and it's not due to having sex, just that things are complicated down there and things get in places they shouldn't lol.
cailoisa answered Wednesday October 19 2005, 9:48 am: Could it be a yeast infection? Those can be unutterably itchy. Stores have ointments in the feminine section that deal with "feminine itch." You might try picking up one of those and following the instructions on the bottle.
That should probably clear it up. If not, you might want to talk to someone about it.

Other symptoms of yeast infections are a burning sensation and cottage cheese-like discharge. You don't have to have sex to get one of these nasties. They are easily cured, though; one pill from the doctor usually does the trick. [ despite_the_radio's advice column | Ask despite_the_radio A Question ]
