    She's just trying to help, no need to make it personal.

    BTW J_9 I think you handled that very professionally... I couldn't leave you rep, but you deserved it there.

    TY Angel. I have 3 teens and a 5 year old. So, I am quite used to this sort of thing.

    I wouldn't give it time.
    If you have a yeast infection - try eating yogurt. It has a live culture (acidophilus) in it that works great for those. It is actually good to eat yogurt when you start an antibotic and continue eating it through the duration and a couple days after - to ward off a yeast infection. Everyone gets them and they are miserable. My first one made me bleed - not fun. I know, TMI!
    If you think that is what it is - you can get medication over the counter. Also, don't wear underwear at night - it lets you breath.

    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 :confused: 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?

    help please?

    I think it might be the soap if I where you I would use a different soap and tell my mom

    Haha wow. All of you get worked up over a 14 year old.
    Why would a 40 some odd year old start getting smart with a 14 year old.
    Thank you for all your help for those who did help.

    :]!

    I think people get worked up because you are 14 and could easily be one of ours.

    Be careful what soap you use down there - My GYN. Told me NO SOAP.. at all down there. Which I think is gross not keep clean - so I still do, but it is made for that part.
    If the sym. Are still there, but are better after you shower - try taking a bath and soak before you go to bed and then try to air dry - wear boxers.

    I did the same thing, except I wrote a letter to my mom

    My GYN also said to not use soap, he suggested using shampoo instead. Try that. I would like to add that I agree with everyone here. Good advice and very helpful.
