Sebaceous cyst woes.

[deztic.livejournal.com]

In the same area (right below my mons pubis on the outer labia) over the past few years I've been developing cystic pimples over and over. I scar very easily so it's like I have a record to remind myself that this isn't new.

The past 4 months I've had what I thought was a cystic pimple form, swell, then shrink and reabsorb repeatedly without heading or "popping". I've learned to leave them the heck alone but now I'm fed up. The past 2 months it hasn't completely reabsorbed so when it shrinks a small bump remains. I saw my doctor this week and she confirmed it's a cyst and that I should just leave it alone unless it becomes painful. It IS painful though. It's a normal cystic bump, but the skin looks taught and red. I told her this but nothing came of it.

Are these cysts the same as cystic acne? And what can I do to help move this one towards healing and possibly prevent this from happening again? I'm already doing hot compresses, but it's becoming a read drag. It itches at times but if I scratch I irritate it even more. I did a search to see if this has been discussed already, and I apologize if I overlooked anything.

Potential cervix issues or hypochondria?

Hi everyone!

After getting fabulous information on my first post, I've decided to turn to you all, yet again, with questions.

I lost my virginity almost two weeks ago, and we've had sex three more times since. The first two times, it was painful I guess (especially deep penetration), but I didn't bleed. The third time we switched to a different condom than the ones we used the first couple times, and then I bled afterward. I just chalked it up to losing the rest of my hymen, and didn't think much of it. The latest time though (using the second brand of condoms), I bled again and it continued the next morning. It was bright red blood and nothing like what it looks like when I have my period. We also had to use lube with this other brand of condoms.

There's another thing eating at me though. Every single deep penetration thrust (I don't know how else to describe it, haha) hurts. It's like my boyfriend is poking at something in the very back of my vagina (I'm assuming my cervix) and just makes it hurt. As soon as he stops going deep it doesn't hurt anymore.

After doing some research on the internet, I saw a bunch of websites telling me that I could have anything from hypersensitive tissues to cervical cancer. Is this bleeding and pain just because I'm still fairly new to the sex thing, or is it something incredibly serious I should get checked out?  I'm also on Gildess FE 1/20 (it's a generic brand of Loestrin I think), and I'm going to schedule my first pap test relatively soon.

Sunday start for HBC when period starts ON a Sunday?

Hullo all, quick question here!

I recently got a prescription for HBC for the first time (woo!) and have been waiting for my darned irregular period to get here so I can start taking them. Well, it just FINALLY showed up today - that cycle took 74 days!

Anyway, the issue is that today is Sunday - so, in order to do a Sunday start, do I take the first pill today, or next Sunday?

Thanks!

Embarrasing bodies.
