Yeah OK so since I got back form my cottage I've had this horrible itching around my vagina and I'm wondering what the hell this is I itches when I move the wrong way its red and very sensitive... I really need some help its bugging the crap out of me.. my mom got me some itch cream but it doesn't seem to help... HELP

Have you been on any medication recently?

This could very possibly be a yeast infection. Many women get them it is very common.

No I haven't tooken any medicine and don't yeast infections come with sex... if so I ve never had sex...

No, yeast infections do not always come with sex.

They can be caused by wearing panties that are not cotton (nylon panties do not breathe and hold in the heat and moisture), they can be caused by antibiotics, they can be caused by bubble baths, and they can be caused by toilet paper that has fragrance in it among many, many other things.

Sex has very little to do with yeast infections actually.

Would wearing a sliky thong count because I've worn them and once I told my mom she told me to stop

Yes, it sure would be a cause. Silky thongs are not cotton, they are usually nylon. This could be the cause.

If it is very itchy there are several things your Mom could get you without going to the doctor. Monistat Cream for one.

OK ill try that but does it go away or will I be stuck with this horible thing :S

Also I have some cream from vagisil it stops itching and irratation is the cream I need specifcly for a yeast infection

Yes, it is. There are many over-the-counter creams for yeast infections. Vagisil is not one of them.

OK thanks for you're help I really needed it :P

That is what I am here for!! ;):D

Oh, yeah even depends on what detergent you use. Have you changed brands lately?
Vagisil is even used for man problems too, believe it or not.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!! Wow, thanks!!

Yeah, I forgot about detergents or even bath soaps.

No I don't think so my mom does all that kind of stuff. It was in the summer though so I'm not sure...

You mean your Mom doesn't wash clothes?

That is what Joe meant, new laundry detergent can cause this.

I don't think it's that because my mom didn't switch and it wouldn't be here for that long would it? I use the vagisil bath wash and that's it right now
