no one else to ask
I just switched soaps for "down there" and there has been serious itching. swollen a little and when i start to urinate a little burn. no odor and no discharge different from normal. i dont know if it is just me adjusting to the soap or if something else is wrong.
thank you so much. i thought about doing that already. to stop using soap. my doctor told me dove white was really good for it so thats what i switched to. thanks for your advice.
dont use soap at all for the next few days - just wash/bathe with warm water and see what happens (as long as your are cleaning your self regularly you shouldnt smell offensive even if you dont use soap). If your symptoms dont settle down, then see a doctor. If you are sexually active - get an STI check. You can sometimes have yeast infections and STI's and not get an usual discharge. The skin in that area is quite delicate though - if you are going to continue to use soap make sure it is gentle, fragrance free etc.
let us know how you get on :)
