minor bleeding, sunburn

[ex-naut99.livejournal.com]

Just a couple of questions

This morning after having sex my boyfriend noticed the condom was a little bloody-not a lot, but a bit here and there. (Not on my period, not near my period, definitely nowhere near a virgin) He'd been using his fingers in me prior, and I'm guessing I got cut or rubbed a little which was inflamed by having sex as I'm not sore, and I didnt bleed afterwards. I was just wondering if I should wait a while before having sex again in case it gets inflamed again. I'm asking mainly because I don't want to end up sore or bleeding, and its also a bit embarrassing to be honest. Also I've never really bled from sex.

Also: (not entirely related) It was rather sunny today and I had a low cut top on and now my chest and the tops of my breasts are quite pink and hot :| (yes, I know i should have worn sunscreen but it was the first warm day of spring) What's the best thing to do with a 'sensitive' area like that? Will it stay sore? I'm just using an aloe after sun gel at the moment. (i've been burnt maybe twice in my life which is why i'm asking!)

I would love to be in a place where yesterday was sunny and hot! It's currently 39 degreesF (at 7:43am) here in good ole' Ohio. Where are you from? I've been burnt a few times in my life (including my boobs) and the best thing that I've found is to use the aloe or some other lotion and wait it out. It always takes 3 or 4 days to not hurt any loner. Don't wear anything scratchy and wear t-shirts so the spot does not get reexposed.

And personally, I would wait for a while (a week or so) before having sex again. I'm pretty sure that especially after a particularly rough night, women can bleed randomly. But just in case he cut you, I would give your cho cha time to heal.

Hot and sunny? Here it's cloudy and windy. It's been chilly in my part of Australia for days and days after a boiling hot middle of September... ^_^

Pretty much reverse seasons. It just happens to currently be not very hot or sunny where I am. Don't feel silly. :)

I just keep cool wash cloths draped over sunburned spots.

Actually, in tender areas this *isn't* a very good thing to do unless you're super-careful. When I was about 13 I got a nasty, nasty sunburn over my my chest and shoulders thanks to being a silly flake and forgetting to sunscreen there. It was itchy and red that night, so I did the damp wash cloth there, keeping the burn cool and wet. However, every time I'd take it off to re-cool it, it would drag over the burn a bit, and the wet terry of the cheap washcloth rubbed the skin funny. Being a goofy teenager, I scratched at the wet skin a bit as it peeled, and the washcloth having been used for a while and attracting some bacteria...

Suffice to say my burn became infected and lasted for a very long, painful time. Stick with the aloe alone, and maybe stand in front of a fan for a chill.

oh, yuck!

i'll stick with the aloe gel I think, its fairly bland.

Aloe is the best. DO NOT USE LOTION OF ANY KIND!!! Even if it includes aloe. Aloe gel is fine, pure aloe is the best but don't use lotion. Lotion fills in the pores when trying to moisturize and will burn you worse deeper in the skin. Even if you go out in the sun again do NOT put any sun block on the burn you already have, I know this all from schooling, training and experience. I know they make healing lotions, soothing lotions and Aloe lotions but stay away from those. I would stick to the aloe you are using now. If it starts to burn you and hurt you pretty bad like others have mentioned, get a bowl of cool water and a wash cloth, dip it in the water, wring it out and place it on the burn until it is no longer cool and you can feel the cloth warming up, it is pulling the heat out from your skin. Then dip it in the bowl of cool water again put it back on the burn. Repeat this until it begins to feel better. Don't scratch or rub the burn that will damage the skin that is still healthy underneath the dead/dieing burnt skin and can cause infection. Hope this is of some help.
