Bump on outer labia

[irishblue.livejournal.com]

Hey!

So, today, I discovered this red, tender bump on my outer labia. It's not too big, about pimple sized, and I'm thinking it's either a pimple or bug bite. It looks similar to the pimples I get inside my thighs when I wear too tight pants or a skirt for two long (my thighs tend to chaf when I wear skirts too long). I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this, if I should see a doctor, and how to treat it if it becomes uncomfortable (it's not at the moment).

Some info:

- I'm 18
- I'm sexually active, but am with my first partner who has never had a previous partner before me
- I haven't had sex in about a week
- I have had a few yeast infections before
- The bump is in an area I shave

Thanks!

sorry for a gross subject

I know sometimes I'll experience diarrhea before or during the time of my period, but I've never had it last this long. I've had diarrhea about 5 days in a row, usually just once but maybe one out of those 5 days was twice. I don't feel sick otherwise but I suppose if it continues, I'll talk to my doctor. Just wondering if any other women experience diarrhea like this around/during their period.

changes in discharge smell

[briansue.livejournal.com]

Can a dramatic change in diet/lifestyle translate to a change in the smell of discharge? I've been in India for a little over 2 months and know it's effecting my body in about a zillion other ways, so just wondering if that could be another. I'm hoping it's nothing too serious... I'm not going home for a month or so.

(for what it's worth: I haven't been sexually active since leaving home and I know I'm usually not drinking nearly enough water)

Allergic to pads?

[anon-musings.livejournal.com]

I've used Always brand pads since I began menstruating at 10 (I'm 26 now). However, I recently noticed that whenever I use them I get this mild itchiness all over my genitalia, which disappears as soon as my period ends. I suspect it's the pads causing this because it only occurs during the five days of each month that I'm using them. What puzzles me though is why this would happen now after using this brand for over 10 years. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Skin Irratation

I know this isnt your va-jay-jay, but it IS part of a females body, soo....I have this strange rash affecting my nipples. No where else, just there. Its itchy, patchy, scaley and I have NO IDEA what its from or where it appeared from. The first time I saw it was after an encounter with a guy who was biting my nipples, and where he bite, it was like teeth marks, except it was from the rash. It hasnt gone away since then. My breast are quite large (34 F) So I can examine them often, and this is a new one for me. Its been there for a little over a month. SO, HELP!?

UTI/Kidney infection

I got a uti that turned into a nasty kidney infection about a week ago and while its hard to keep anything down, are there any super foods that are good for my kidneys and won't make me yeasty? Thanks!

Almost a period while the ring is still in?

[juxtap0ser.livejournal.com]

I've been on nuva ring for about a year. I have never experienced any sort of spotting in this time until this week. A few days ago I started having dark colored discharge like at the begining or end of a period. Not constant discharge, just once or twice a day and usually at urination. I didnt think anything of it because I know spotting can occur, but then yesterday when I went to pee it looked like i was actually starting to menstruate. Red and chunky and all that characteristic stuff. Today it was back to dark but an exceptionally large chunk came out. And my ring is still in! My bf thinks i should get it checked out but im still not sure it its really abnormal. Has anyone experienced this sort of intense spotting? Also, i will be taking the ring out this tuesday. Could I just have an excess build up of uterine lining this month so  that its leaking out a little early of its own accord and will stop after I have a proper period? Does that even happen?
