lulabelle answered Monday June 12 2006, 11:49 pm: It's hot out now and if you aren't wearing 100% cotton underwear you could be getting a heat rash. What women aren't told enough is that they should never wear synthetic underwear and especially in the summer. Synthetic underwear is the biggest cause of heat rash AND yeast infections. You don't have to be sexually active to get either one of these. Don't wear tight clothing either because it will rub against you and cause irritation. Keep your clothing loose in the summer and keep it natural fiber like cotton or rami and you will be a lot more comfortable. But if you still feel you need to see a doctor you can always go to a free clinic like your local Health Department. They will take you and keep things confidential if need be. But I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Your having 1 of 2 problems and it is easily fixable. 1) your pants or panites are to tight causing chafing. 2) your sweating down there (very common, when you sweat, you sweat everywhere so dont think ur weird) and you've gotten a rash from it. In either way the treatment is the same. Don't wear pants that are to tight in the vaginal area and at night when your sleeping dont wear any panties just put on a loose pair of shorts or a long nightie, it will give your "rash" time to breathe and will get better ALOT faster.

2. Your underwear or pants could be too tight, causing chafing.
3. You are sweating in between your legs and its causing bacteria to go there.
iheartdrumersss answered Monday June 12 2006, 10:58 pm: Alot of times if you shave down there it gets irritated. Or it could just be very sensative to something new that you're wearing/using? You can go to any drugstore like Eckerd's//Walgreen's//whatever and they have cremes and treatments for things like that. You'll know which one to get by looking on the box at what you use it for.

xomegaroni answered Monday June 12 2006, 9:13 pm: it basically could be anything. since ur not sexually active, its prob not anything too serious. it could be juss from your underwear & the type of soap you use. maybe its too hott outside & you sweat a lot. if it doesn't go away soon, try going to the gyno. for now, you should probably wear loose clothing.
