    Vaginal callus
    A week ago I noticed a few little white bumps around my vagina (around the hole, if you will). I innitially freaked out and thought it was genital warts. I immediately made an appointment with my gyno that day. It turns out, to my relief, that they are calluses!! The doctor said they are caused by too much friction, and that I should use KY jelly from now on. Now, my question is:

    Has anyone had this experience? Is there any way to get rid of them (the doctor told me to modify our positions)?

    I don't really mind them now. The guy I'm with understands and isn't grossed out or anything like that... I'm just worried about future relationships and having to explain. I mean, if a guy told me he had calluses, I'd just assume it was an excuse to infect me with some horrible STD.

    First of all... you GO girl! :D seriously, using a lubricant regularly should reduce the friction causing the callus and should soften the tissue
