Another vaginal itch question
| Wed, 11-14-2007 - 9:36am |
Ok, here's one for you. Over the summer I developed an external vaginal itch. It seemed to be more on one side than the other. I have gotten minor things like this in the past and they went away. I am married and NEVER suspected my husband of cheating. This itch wasn't going away and it was getting worse. I started getting freaked out and actually thought he might have cheated and gave me some kind of STD. I confronted him and he thought I was nuts and said he had no symptoms of anything and he said he never cheated. I actually had him examine me (I couldn't get a good look, even with a mirror). He said he saw nothing, just maybe a little redness and irritation. So, I went to a OB/GYN and he ran some tests, all were negative, and he didn't really see anything. He asked if I changed anything, (soaps, tampons, anything), I said no. He thought maybe I was just getting irritation from sweating, kind of like a heat rash. He gave me a prescription for some cream that was anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-itch. He said it would cover everything. If I remember correctly, he said it was also a steroid so don't use it too much. But he thought after a few uses it would go away. It did help, but it has come back, not as bad as it was over the summer. It's weird, I must just have sensitive skin there. And it still seems to be on the same side. Anyone ever have anything like this?
