So, I took a shower, didn't notice anything totally different about my vagina other than it was a little itchy (TMI, But when I don't shave everyday, the hair tends to grow out and make the whole area itch like hell - not sure why - doesn't do it on my legs when I let those go for a few days) but I didn't think much of it.
I'm shaving in the shower trying to shave really close (pubic area) with water and soap, and then bam...all of a sudden it burns when I run water on it (maybe a minute after shaving) but oddly enough not where (I think) I shaved. Maybe my mind is retarded, but OUCH, it feels like it burns - like razor burn. But like I said, I don't remember if I shaved in that specific area or not (It's on the very outside of my lips, I'm not sure if the razor was reaching that far or not). So I get out of the shower and it still burns. Like my vag is on FIRE.
So, of course, I grab a mirror to check it out. It's red in maybe 2 small places on opposite sides and it hurts. Not on the inside of my lips, but on the very outside. Like, when I walk it feels like sandpaper rubbing in between, but not on my inner lips - on the tip of the outer lips. As far as I can see I don't see any clusters of bumps, and not sure why if I did have something (like herpes) they would "pop" in the shower without even having noticing before my shower? Before the blisters actually pop can you feel them?
I have always been somewhat of a hypocondriac, but I can't help think that I need to go to the gyno soon - like within this week. I need to do that anyways for check-ups and paps, etc.
I'm pretty sure it's really bad razor burn (or maybe a few nicks - it was bleeding slightly but not enough to actually make a huge difference). I mean, what does razor burn on your pubic area feel like? Sure, razor burn on my legs hurts insanely and makes it almost unbearable rubbing up against sheets and does make them blotchy and reddish in places, so I am guessing this is probably an equal pain...just in a more sensitive region.
I did go ahead and put vaseline (best I could come up with) all over it, and it feels a lot less on fire.
I feel stupid writing this. Ugh. If I could write a book about everything that I thought was medically wrong with me, it'd be 1,000 pages long. At least.



) but I didn't think much of it.
