My Vagina's Rebelling Against Me:: Itching and Peeling.

Alright, here's the story.
My vagina is bone dry. My entire vulva is dry, all the way down to the top of my booty crack.
It's easier to see if I do a glorious MS painting of it:


The area above my clit is currently ripped and bleeding, the area around it itches to high heaven, and the purple part in the crease of my legs is peeling off and sore, along with pussing the clear stuff.


I'm about to take a razorblade to her. Does anyone know a good remedy for this, and anything I can put on it right now (that most people have at home) to make it stop itching? Thanks!

If you've had yeast infections before, and you think this isn't one...

Have you used toilet paper with lotion in it recently (say, at a friend's house), and do you have any topical allergies to things commonly found in lotions?

I'm glad it hasn't happened to me there yet (have had it on the nose - yay tissues), but it has happened to my cousin whose allergy is worse.

(Aloe, if anyone's wondering. Why it's in some toilet paper I have no idea.)

If it is that, then an antihistamine (diphenhydramine Benadryl) is your best bet, and a non-irritating, non-oil-based moisturizing cream (I like cetaphyl, personally).

Ugh. That made basically no sense.

While I've never had a yeast infection, knock on wood, and I haven't had any allergic reactions on my vulva, what you're describing sounds like topical ezcema to me (with fissures, yay!).

Ezcema can be triggered by topical allergens, or it can be random. Really, only your doctor can tell you if it is ezcema or not. And only experience and charting your detergent and TP use can tell you if it's an allergy or not.
