My vagina

Ok, to put it blunt, the skin is peeling around my vagina, like where I shave. Its really itchy and it looks horrid, I keep stopping my boyfriend from going down there because im embarressed, its been like this for a week now and its only getting worse,...

there is one bit that just keeps getting bigger and its really uncomfortable. Does anyone know what it is and any advise? I dont really fancy telling my mum but if I had to go to the doctors then she'd have to know because she would have to drive me there.
Any help is really apreciated thanks x

by the way, its not inside my vagina its just above the left lip

ALSO I HAVE NOT ACTUALLY HAD SEX, I have had oral and me + my boyfriend were grinding the about a week ago but not actualy having sex

If it's peeling, it's probably because the skin is dried out.

Use some moisturizer.

ok because its itchy is when you shave it always gets itchy its natural and the skin peelin problem is just normal also just put oil on it or cream 2 a day and the bump is probably an in growning hair so there is no need to worry about any of this is ok and for your boyfriend just tell him your not ready for this kinda thing(untill your skin is not peely)

Hope this helps.

omg guys, thank you so much, I got all worried thinking about herpes and stuff, but your advice has calmed me down a lot :D but the only other thing that makes me worry is that where the skin is peeling away its sore and has puss type stuff?
thanks, and any more answers are really apreciated :D

your skin is either really sensitive in which case id advise waxing or you may have possibly contracted a staph infection from your razor. Always use a different razor downstairs that you do on your underarms and legs, but none the less I think you need 2 tell your mom.

I TOLD MY MUM, SHE TOOK ME TO THE DOCTORS + ITS IMPETIGO

thanks for everyones advice though

xx

omg I had to go back to the doctors because it wasnt impetigo + its shingles which is herpes isnt it?
lol, I was right in thinking it was herpes :L

A too-close shave or waxing can make hairs split and loop around just under the surface of the skin. As these off-kilter hairs grow, they push up against your skin, causing inflammation and redness, says Lawrence Moy, M.D., chief of dermatology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

The fix:

Put down your loofah; dermatologists now agree that rubbing the bumps to free trapped hairs will only make the problem worse. Instead, apply an OTC acetylsalicylic acid (a.k.a. aspirin) solution twice a day for two to seven days to gently exfoliate the top layer of your skin. (Try Soft Cell.) Once you shed this layer, the looped hairs will be able to poke through. A cortisone injection, administered by your dermatologist, will decrease inflammation in bigger bumps. If ingrown hairs are a persistent problem, you may want to consider laser treatment, which damages the hair follicles and prevents hair growth. You'll need about three treatments (each around $350) followed by a touch-up every six months to a year.
