I'm a little worried that there might be something wrong with me.

The small bit of skin in between my vagina and my butt is sore as hell and it stings when I pee. It fades away after a while, but seems to always come back.

When it first happened, I thought it was an UTI and went to the doctor, who told me it was either an UTI or a yeast infection. I haven't had any discharge (ie a yeast infection) and I haven't had trouble peeing, so I don't think it's an UTI either.

I've been abstinent for almost two years now, so it wouldn't have anything to do with sex...which rules out an STD.

I just want to know what's wrong with me.

It's your perrenium, right? That's what I'm getting from the description.

That happened to me once or twice. The culprit was actually thong panties. Chafing and irritation. Not the sexy image I wanted, let me tell you.

Yup, same here. Had that happen to me. I avoid underwear and esp. thongs and if it gets really annoying I put some neosporin on it to help it along, which seems to work.

Allergic reaction to some new laundry detergent or other product you're using maybe?

Have you been bike riding or sitting on something unusual (a rick or log while camping, a fence, the bump between the plastic seat on the bus, etc.)? Men have problems in the same region from bike seats putting pressure on about the same area. Perhaps the same goes for women.

Maybe you have an inflammation in a pore. I get those in other areas once in a while.

I second madamjolie's theory.

Are you sufficiently flexible? Do you have a handheld mirror (one from a make-up compact should work)? If so, I'd suggest bending over to check for any visible abrasion or irritation. Should you be able to see any, the source is most likely some form of clothing, be it thong panties or tight jeans.

Sometimes I get what's sort of like a small cut/tear around that area and it burns for a while then heals on it's own.

[whisky-feeds.livejournal.com]

maybe use a little antibiotic ointment, too.

[amigone.livejournal.com]

Some type of barrier cream until it heals. Use (seriously) what they would use for reddened areas with diaper rash.

I can't help much, but what is your icon from? So familiar...

[jenbys.livejournal.com]

I think it's from The Office.....I could be wrong though :o)

[ex-stephie800.livejournal.com]

No, it's from Anchorman = D I love that icon!!!

[agonystar.livejournal.com]

Good job, and thank you! :-D

I get that from sex/sexual activity. It can be very painful. Usually I put some Neosporin (with built in pain reliever) on it.

[ex-stephie800.livejournal.com]

I've definitely had that quite a few times.

It might just be a tearing of the skin from one thing or another... sometimes even from wiping to hard after you go to the bathroom. I've actually gotten it from sitting on the toilet seat in a way that would stress the area and cause it to tear (like if I'm trying too hard to go to the bathroom and it won't come out kind or something). In general, I think that area is very sensitive and prone to tearing on some women (especially me! heh)
