hi, i am a 14 year old girl who has only had sex twice, this was about 4 months ago, i havent had any sexual activity for about a month and a half now. i wear cotton underwear and i keep myself very well clean. just 3 days ago i went to take a shower and i used a different soap, and i cleaned my vagina with it.. not in it or anything but just the outer parts. the next day i did what i normally do, went to school. by the end of the day i moved a certain way and felt tenderness.. i went home later and checked it out and it seemed a bit red, tender, and itchy. maybe the pants i was wearing rubbed against it..?
the next day it was alittle better but it was still red and itcy, and it one spot it was tender.
i left it alone.
the next day, it seemed to be really dry, around my lips also.. it was peeling a little, not much but it was peeling still, i left it alone. its alittle itchy still, &still red.
i'm not sure what to do because i have no way of going to a doctor.
maybe i should just leave it alone, not continue to use that soap.. and just give it time?
Hun, I am sorry to give you this news, but you NEED to see a doctor. It sounds as though you may either have a yeast infection or possibly a STD. Both of which are easily treatable, but need a prescription for an antibiotic from a doctor.
If it is a STD and is left untreated there can be some serious life threatening consquences. So, please see a doctor. S/he cannot tell your parents anything about your condition or treatment. Just tell your Mum that you think you may have a yeast infection, they are not uncommon and she has even had at least 1 or 2 in her life.
J_9 is right about seeing a doctor, but I have had the same thing happen to me before when using a different soap, so it could be that. But I wasnt sexually active at that point in my life and I have VERY sensitive skin, so in your case you still need to see the dr. to be sure.
How? You have had sex, therefore you were possibly exposed to STDs. Some STDs can take a while before you notice them, its not necessarily immediate. And as for Yeast Infections, anyone can get them at any time.
If you mean how to see a doctor...go to a local clinic. Most wont require you to use your parents insurance, and they will help you while still keeping your information private.
Or you can go to your normal Gyno (or if you have never gone, find one) and use your parents insurance but tell your mother what J_9 suggested. The doctor can not reveal anything to your mom. There is nothing to be scared of. And most things can be cleared up no problem.
If you had sex, no matter how few times, you could have been infected with a STD.
If you had sex, no matter how few times, you could get a yeast infection.
If you NEVER had sex, you can still get a yeast infection, especially if you have been on antibiotics recently.
You also very well could be sensitive to the soap.
But to know for sure you have to be checked out by a doctor. If, and just IF it is a STD, there are some that if left untreated can affect your brain (just an example, but syphillis can affect your brain if left untreated). A yeast infection can become septic (in your bloodstream) if left untreated for a long time.
So, hun, for your health's sake, tell your Mom you think you have a yeast infection and get to the doctor. Remember, I am sure she has had a few yeast infections in her time.
well i know the person i had sex with twice, didn't have anything, he wasn't filthy or anything.. & the other one i didn't have sex with but im pretty sure nothing could of happened there.
& i also have very sensitive skin.
so i'm not sure. it's just the whole talking to my mom about it :\
she know's nothing i've done..
yes, but a yeast infection doesnt say anything to your mom but that you are human. It doesnt tell her you have had sex or anything. and unless your boyfriend had tests results that he showed you, just "looking" at him and thinking he was clean doesnt mean anything. Your mother will understand a yeast infection. We all get em.
still, i left it alone. its alittle itchy still, &still red.
