Itching
I was wondering, what are some of the reasons why I am itchy 'down there'. It started being itchy about a week or so ago, and I don't know why. It's off and on and I should be getting my period sometime this/next week. Don't suggest going to the doctors or to my mom because those aren't options for me, I want to know what it could be. Thanks.

If you shave down there that could be why. other than thats its probably a yeast infection. Go to the doctor for a yeast infection, and if you shave down there then i dont know what you could put on it. If you shave and it itches then its because your skin its dry. i guess put lotion on it? i itch sometimes but i it dont really bother me.

It could be many things but you have to be the detective on this one...
it could be things like a yeast infection or maybe even STI's (STD's)
answer these questions to yourself...
1) Are you sexually active?
2) If you have had sex did you use a condom?
3) Have you used any new products like soaps or lotions that you might possibly be allergic to?
4) Do you wash regularly ''down there''
5) Do you ususally change your panties everyday?
6) Are your jeans or clothing tight?
To make this clear up do this:
If you are sexually active you should get tested i know you don't want to see a doctor but you should...make sure any new products you used you aren't allergic to by testing them on a patch of skin like your arm...make sure you wash regularly... make sure you are putting clean underwear on every day because that can cause an infection... also by wearing a baithing suit all day could do it because there isn't any air getting in...lastly make sure your clothing isn't too tight or rubbing because that can irritate the area and cause the itching sensation.

Usually that is a yeast infection. Sometimes it's normal, but if its also burning a bit, there is a good chance it's a yeast infection. You can buy cremes and stuff to put on "it" and it will clear up pretty quikly, if you have a yeast infection. I know, it's pretty gross. -Karlie

It could be many things. All of them needing medical attention. If you don't, it won;t get better and could become infected if you continue scratching. I know you don't want to say anything to your mom, but you honestly need to. :)
