ok since like 4 or 5 days ago I noticed in my anal area it was feeling raw and it looked red. But then today I got out of the shower and I noticed it had gotten much worse. The rash or whatever it is had gone from my anal area all the way to the lower part of my vagina. Its very red but its not really that painful but tender to the touch a little. I'm a little freaked out because I dont know what it is and it is driving me crazy. if anyone could possibly have an idea that would be great I would love some advice please. thank you so much.

Hi honey! IS there anyway this could be a STI? IF so you need to get checked and put on antibiotics! IF there is no way, I would hazzard that you have high acidity in your urine or a urinary tract infection! I think it would be a good idea for you to get a urine culture done - to see! Also use non scented cleanser and wear cotton underwear, if you wear a panty liner, give it a break for awhile - as the bleach int he liner can actually cause a gas when it hits any urine! Have you heard all the news about Pampers lately with their new stay dry lining and causing rashes? This is similar for panty liners or pads - they have SUCH absorbancy they take the natural oils from your bottom and cause rashes and "rug burns" skin rubbing against skin with no natural barriers! Which would make sense with the area you are mentioning! Have you been wearing pads or something new and with extra absorbancy lately?

omg I just realized something...I have never used the brand of pads that I started using last month and I had a little bit of a reaction last month but it wasnt this bad....maybe I am allergic to something in the pad or something??? because it only started when I started my period and ended...

Definitely! What you have to remember is that pads have a LOT of chemicals in them - they use chemicals to break down the recycled paper etc, chemicals to make the sponge in the middle more absorbent and LOTS of bleach to make them white as they are brownish/grey without the bleach! So when you urine touches the pad and the bleach etc, it actually creates fumes and draws out SO much moisture that yourbottom can get really sore! Did you hear the story about Pampers where you live!? They are saying that the new type - with extra apsorbancy causes welts on babies bottoms!!!!! So I think you are having a reaction - try to lay off them for awhile and was with a non scented prodct - and put some polysporin on it too! It should go away soon - air dry as much as possible!

You're welcome honey! I did the same with my boys - huggies used to have just white ones, and they helped my boys so much, then they changed them to blue! I actually wrote to Huggies!! 8-| XD And told them to make them white again!!!! LOL I tried the cotton diapers!!! And that lasted about 6 weeks! GROSS!!!!! LOL
