Hi,
About 2 weeks ago I developed red itchy skin around my vagina. I am 14 years old and I have never been in sexual contact with anyone. So no sex or oral or anything. It would not be an STD/STI unless someone else in my family has it and I contracted it through towels as we hang them very close to eachother in the bathroom. But my family is rather clean and healthy so no I would not think that either. Also, if that was the case, I think I would have developed the issue years and years ago, so not suddenly now.
The itching is in my panty line, so when you put underwear on, where the line of it sits next to your vagina. I tried sleeping without underwear for about a week to reduce the amount of irritation from pants, but it did not help. I am however continuing to remove my underwear at night.
I tried using nappy rash cream, but it did not help either. I tried organic products like creams (My family only uses organic toiletries, so no general shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deoderant or anything, only special organic products from special stores) but that didn't help either.
The itching gets worst some days, I sometimes just sit down on the toilet and itch it as it is just so bad. It hasn't bled or anything, but the surrounding skin next to the rashes had some peeling skin a few days ago.
I told my Mum about it last night, she told me that she would make some herbal tea to try and wash it with, it helped, so I will continue that. She did say that if it would not get better in the next few days, she would book me a doctors appointment.
I researched Herpes, but seeing as I have not had any sexual contact whatsoever, that would not be the case.
I would really appreciate if someone could help out, I am getting really worried and upset. I have anxiety so going to the doctor would be a blow at me, but I will have to if it does not get any better in the next 3 days.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help me out,
-Emese
