It’s so embarrassing to talk about, but it’s been bothering me for some time.

I don’t remember when the itch started? Maybe six years ago? It comes and goes, it’s not a constant itch. I would say it’s exactly around the vaginal opening area, the skin there. Not really anywhere else down there. But what do you guys think it could be? If anyone has had a similar experience and knows more?

I have PCOS/PMOS, if it helps? I have tried googling, and it says it can be a yeast infection, but my discharge feels normal. Or an STI I think it said? But I haven’t had sexual intercourse with anyone yet, so I don’t think it’s that. And then irritation from products, I don’t use anything down there. I do have a cream from the pharmacy, but that’s all. I don’t use it that often, it’s supposed to help with dryness. I know it has no perfume or anything at least, but once it has worn off I do feel like the itch can feel more intense.

I have noticed the skin looking dry, especially after a shower, and that when I used to have periods for months, the itch never came. It only came like maybe before or after a period. Natural lubrication that builds up and like arousal also helps with the feeling, and kind of calms the itch.

It’s really so embarrassing to talk about, I tried sharing as best as I could. In case anyone knows more, or has any experience with it. Again, it’s not a constant itchy feeling? It can come maybe once a month or so? I haven’t kept track, but it’s not that often. But each time it comes I get just as frustrated!

Right now I honestly think it’s hormonal? Maybe? Because of my PCOS/PMOS, I am 19 for reference. If that changes anything with what you guys might think it is! But yeah, thats probably it!

I would love to hear what you guys think it could be! Might help me figure out too! 😊✨

I am feeling a little down, so if anyones up to cheer my mood up, I would appreciate it! ☺️

Also, I am not looking for anything sexual, just be respectful and kind. Preferably someone around my age too, I feel like we would have more in common to talk about then! 🤝

I can share a little about myself, right now I am studying German (the source for my bad mood 🥲), thankfully the course ends next Friday.

Other than that? I can share some hobbies, I like to paint, draw, do pottery, make jewelry, crochet, horse riding, ice skating (although I am not that good 🙈), I love to bake as well, and just so much more! Lots of hobbies!

Mosaic art and bead embroidery has also caught my interest these past few years, oh and oil pastel art as well! I love the way the pastels kind of make a visible layer when you use them and layer the colors, adds some texture and depth to the creation! 🎨

Anyhow, I’ll round this off here and see if anyones up for a talk! I would appreciate it if you gave an introduction about yourself too 🫶
