What is this??

I have no idea what is going on.. I have a place down there that is red and really hurts. Its not very big..   Last night it itched in that one spot just a little but this morning it is just sore. Does this sound like a yeast infection?? In only one spot? There is no discharge or weird smell.


Also I have been having diarhea a lot lately (IBS) and been wiping a bunch.. Could this have caused it?


Thanks so much in advance!!

It could be an ingrown hair.

Hi there,

Sounds like it is more likely to be an ingrown hair or a small cyst. Definitely doesn't sound like a yeast infection. If it gets more sore, you might want to try applying a really warm, wet facecloth to the area, for a few minutes, a few times a day to try and draw it to the surface.
