Vaginal rash type thing? =/
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?

TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER: rIf someone offers you advice and went out of their way to try and help you one should be grateful even if it's not what they want to hear. Calling ANY advice columnist much less me a "BITCH" for answering with something you didn't want to hear will not endear yourself to anyone or make people want to help you period. I know you're frustrated and have a problem but there are ways we expect all columnists to be treated and likewise we will treat you with the same respect.
--ORIGINAL ADVICE-
That's the problem. You're using some cream from in your cupboard that may not be designed to deal with the problem you have. There's no excuse not to see a doctor as they and only they will know what to do.
I've seen a lot of questions on here about the same issue. You're welcome to ask questions but you'll always get the same answer that it needs to be treated by a doctor with the right cream and knowledge of what it is.
You can't get advice advising you any different. I also wouldn't recommend you use a cream or medicine that someone else had prescribed to them as that can be dangerous depending on what it is. If it's NOT doing a thing than it means you need treatment still from a doctor or it won't go away. It will just get a lot worse awfully fast. That's an unfortunate fact.

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 <3
