 Posted: 11/10/06 - 20:29 Post subject: why is my vagina peeling? |
  |
|
I'm 19 and have been sexually active in the past. I had a normal period, but noticed after my period that the skin around my vagina started peeling. I do not have any kind of discharge, and it is not itchy or irritated in any way. I'm not on any kind of medication or birth control.
I'm worried that this might be a symptom of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
Can some one please help me??
I am too embarassed to go to my doctor as he is my boss. |

Why did Toxic Shock Syndrome come to your mind. It occurs rarely and it really is an emergency, not something that would cause skin peeling.
Toxic Shock Syndrome symptoms start suddenly and include fever, drop in blood pressure, confusion, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc
Your problem could be a simple yeast infection or some kind of skin reaction or dermatitis. |

| you probably are having a reaction to menstural pads. some people find them very drying, so your skin is being sapped of moisture, which is why it's peeling. Just be sure to keep the area clean, don't peel the skin, and it'll go away without any problems |
