sounds like a yeast infection..n try to stop freakin out ok??  go to any store that sells feminine products..  look for "for the treament of yeast infections".. this should get u some relieve!!  & dont buy the cheapest stuff either..  look for the name brand  maybe $ 14- $17...  Oh.. & ps..  believe ONLY ur own words.. men, of all shapes, sizes, color, looking good or bad.. dont matter.. a man is a man is a man... girl they will lie about the stupidist' things.. let alone things that really matter!!   NOT saying he lying.. just a lil tip!  now.. if this cream dont remedy ur problem ( & use it as directed ) then i 'd look at a doctor.. but if u aint had vaginal sex.. u should be good to go!!  good luck   & oh.. after reading some of the replies.. shug, they got over the counter remedies for a reason!!!.. u do not have to run to the doctor for an itch that may be cured for like $15!!!

Keep the soap of the area, it may be irritating it more.  Get some Cortizone 10 cream for the itch, it will work immediately, and I agree, don't ever douche.  There are over-the-counter yeasts test which are very effective, try one.  But a bladder infection has the same symptoms, so see your doctor, it's not a big deal.

I think you would be better off seeing a doc then self-diagnosing and trying over-the-counter preparations.  Please don't douche.  The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, and douching can erase all the good environment there and make it take longer to come back to normal.  It can even force irritants and bacteria up into the back of your vagina. The only thing I would try at home is possibly a sitzbath in a solution of white vinegar and water.  Don't try to put it up in your vagina.  White vinegar has been tested scientifically and found to be both an antibacterial and antiviral, and it's pretty mild when you cut it with water, and it will not give you a chemical load.  The problem with otc treatments is that if you don't in fact have a yeast infection, you've both wasted your money and also added yet another irritant to the mix that is giving you the itching.

Please be sure your boyfriend has really clean hands and really short nails if you are going to go in for fingering.  You could have picked up a fungus or bacteria from his hands.

Im not sure where you are located at but here in CA we have whats called Planned Parenthood. Its a FREE confidential clinic that can give you a pap smear as well as medication if they find anything. Yeast infections as well as come stds can be contracted WITHOUT having intercourse. Some people are just born a carrier and the virus or bacteria just needs something to trigger it- As far as the cut on your inside- Ive had that before too. My bf was fingering me and his fingernail cut me. It took almost 2 weeks to heal and burned so bad everytime I went pee.- but just to make sure thats what it was I went and had a pap smear. If you dont have planned parenthood most cities have some sort of free clinic you may just have to do some checking around. Im also not the one to say ditch school, but Iv dont it myself as well as driven other girls to the clinic during school hours so parents wont find out.- As for the boy. Be honest with him and tell him your problem! He may have it too and too scared to tell you! Open honesty with anything related to your sex life is a good thing. If he finds out you went to a clinic or had to get medicine for something without telling him, it may cause more probelms. Good luck though

I too have a nerd for a spouse, & yes, you can rest asuredly that he never had another girl in this manner.  I'm thankful that you were so willing to share that factor with me.  And no you weren't being rude, just truthful.  I do know how frustrating this can be for someone as young as yourself.  My only child is now 20yrs young & she too didn't want her parents to find out that she wanted to get busy with her boyfriend, unfortunately it isn't the case for all of you gals out there.  Thankfully you have a good guy & that you will be married eventually.  I do still recommend that you try the over the counter cream & stop dousing it with the cornmeal.  I know you thought you were doing good but you just irritated it more than helped it out.  Now for any cornmeal that may have entered into your actual vagina, you will need to use a douche to remove that & it will stop causing your body to produce the yeast that is being caused by the foreign material that has entered your body.  As I stated if you're not sure as to which cream will work best consult the pharmacist & they will give you their professional opinion.  They are extremely knowledgeable & have knowledge other the products that are sold.  I'll keep you in my prayers & hope that this resolves itself with the proper care that I've instructed you to use.  Now if you're cycle isn't quite what you normally have & the condition doesn't clear up before or shortly after your cycle then you best be getting to the doctor for further assistance.

go to a doctor. if your parents find out...that's something you'll have to deal with. it's better to be healthy than wondering if you have a yeast infection or std/sti.

this was very help ful, but him and i are engaged, and getting married july 8 2011. and we weree to gether for 9 months before we both decided we were ready to do something other than "all the way". no i dont seem to remember him ever having a cold sore, or me. and he is a REALLY big nerd that has never even had a girlfriend before we were together lol. he has hardly any friends, and he almost never goes out anywhere. he is a great guy, and he kept asking me, "did you think this through? are you sure you are ready, because im never going to ask you to do anything you dont want to" and i have always been the one to bring up anything pertaining to sex. he is/ always has been to shy to even tlk to a girl. lol  so no, i dont think hed lie to me. but thank you so very much for your concern. i REALLY appreiciate it. im not trying to be rude. and im so thankful someone listened! if you have ANYMORE advice, please share it. thank you!

I may not be the best person to respond to your needs, but I will tell you this much, stop putting cornmeal on it, stop cleaning it so often with soap.  1. You both may be virgins no longer, as oral sex & as you put it playing with has rendered you no longer a virgin.  Just because you didn't have intercourse doesn't mean that you are still a virgin.  Now as for the 2. Just because a boyfriend tells you that he has never doesn't mean that he really has never done this type thing before & if he really had respected you he wouldn't have talked his way into your panties to begin with.  3.  It may be a yeast infection but they last for several days to a couple of weeks & the way you've been trying to treat it has just caused it to become worse.  So please stop putting cornmeal on it.  You can buy an over the counter fix for this, it is a vaginal cream that can help with both the itching & sooth the irritation that was caused by the cornmeal.  4 you will need to be seen by a doctor if the continues to be a problem after you have tried the over the counter creme, you will find it in the section of your local grocery store in the femine department where you find your other hygiene products such as pads & tampons, if you are uncertain as to which creme is the best to use consult with the pharmasist & explain that you think you may have a yeast infection, there are also over the counter tests available to see if that is the problem.  Now if the situation doesn't get better after say 2more weeks, or your period doesn't seem to be a normal period for you then please consult your doctor immediately.  I'm sure you've seen your 1st OB Gyn by now since you probably have had your 1st menstrual cycle a few years ago & that is generally when girls have their 1st visit with an OB Gyn.  Anything you tell him/her will be kept as confidential as possible, I know that you think your parents have the right to certain details after you doctor visit but we actually don't have as much right as you feel we might.  Now don't be alarmed if it takes a bit longer than  2wks as you are possibly getting ready for your menstrual cycle during this time to which throws your biochemical reactions off because of the hormonal shift that our bodies do to get ready for conceiving children or after our eggs haven't been fertilized sloffying off the old & getting ready for another possible.  So take a few deep breathes, by yourself a good vaginal cream & begin proper treatment for that yeast infection.  Now as I said some boys will tell girls that they themselves are still virgins but if they are talking you into having sex with them before you are married I can almost guarantee that they aren't virgins themselves anylonger.  A true virgin wouldn't think of asking another virgin to give herself up before marriage.

So the STD isn't totally out of the question.  Now has your  boyfriend ever had a cold sore?  IF so than you may have a problem or if you've ever had a cold sore you may have a serious problem.
