Itchyyy
First of all.. I'm a virgin. I'm 21, and I'm having some vagina issues. Anyone who gets grossed out, don't read any further.
I'm itchy HORRIBLY down there. It's inflamed, and burning. There's no discharge at all, but it's red, and concerning me.
My question-- what could it be? I'm well-aware that people on here are probably not physicians, but it would be great to have some feedback. Maybe even a suggestion on what it could be, or if anyone has ever gone through it and found proper treatment.
I will say, that just because I am a virgin, I have a boyfriend. We've messed around a bit, as far as fingering and oral sex.
I've done a bit of research, and found that some things like shaving, fingering, soaps, and even the heat of summer, can cause a yeast infection. Any of these could be possible. But I'm scared it's more. I feel like I've worked too hard being a virgin to be so irresponsible to catch something.
Help?

Relax. Something that I actually didn't know until a recent trip to the good ol' gyno office is that, sleeping in underwear (especially thongs) can cause a bacteria buildup.
So try sleeping au naturale. Atleast for a little while in the summer.
Also this could be a uti (urinary tract infection) that went unnoticed and now could have become a yeast infection.
When shaving, especially in the summer you want to be careful because of the delicate area and sensitive skin. After you've shaved try applying a moisturizer around the area. Being dry down there can cause skin to chaf and then with fingers pressing around the area leads to friction.
dryness+friction = swollen.
so just read through this and see if any of this applies to you. and then see a doctor.

It's probably a yeast infection.
There is no real reason for it to be something else.
You need to see a doctor.
A yeast infection isn't something you 'catch'. It's something that spontaneously happens. In the absence of any other information, the simplest explanation is usually the right one. The simplest explanation is that you have a yeast infection, something that any virgin or non-virgin can get.
However, you must see a doctor at this point. Because you have never had a yeast infection before, you need a doctor’s verification that that is what is wrong. You've also let this go a bit too long. If you are in as much pain as you describe, it would be best to get your medication from a doctor, not an over the counter remedy. An over the counter cure might not be enough to do the trick at this point.
Again, there is no reason to think it is anything but a yeast infection. That is the most likely and simplest explanation. You’ll probably get a few more of them in your life, so just take a deep breath and go see a doctor.
NOTE: Do not take cortisone. Like most antibiotic and steroids, cortisone can actually cause yeast infections. It is not the treatment for yeast infections. At all.
Do not drink cranberry juice. Well, you can if want too but it wont do shit. Cranberry juice is for urinary track infections, which it doesn’t sound like you have.

im guessing, and hoping, you arent pregnant. if you're still virgin, then you should have nothing to worry about. most likely it is just some sort of infection. try chortezone (i totally screwed up on that spelling) but try that. also, drink cranberry juice, its supposed to help. if (you said something kinda gross now its my turn) if when u pee, it feels like there's a needle stuck up it, and/or you're peeing out blood, then see a doctor. if that is the case, dont worry for your virginity because thats just a bad infection, painful, but wont land you in labor

k well it has to be that way because of the shaving you'll probably have some red bumps down there too you have to see a doctor its not serious but you still should go because only a doctor can help you get rid of the irratation or if you feel to uncomfortable to go to a doctor go to the drug store and find some itchying cream and but a drop of it on your finger and just rub it should get better i shuggest you go to the doctor tho good luck:)
