Ingrown and irritated vaginal hair

Hello, I’m a female in my early twenties and I’m currently struggling with ingrown hairs. I didn’t have this issue until I started waxing. I thought I was doing everything right, but for the past couple of months I’ve been having issues. I have this small knot under my skin that Google says it’s most likely an infection ingrown hair. I have about 5 smaller patches where I did pluck the hair that was trying to come through, which I thought was what I was supposed to do. Apparently, I’ve seen many state otherwise. Too late. Anyways, now I’m looking for quick fixes because I can’t stand having to deal with this any longer. I hate having this much pubic hair too. I just want the issue to be resolved, but I’m not sure where to go to do that. Are there any remedies or recommendations for this?

vaginal yeast infection — need advice before my wedding

Hi girls! I’ve been dealing with a vaginal yeast infection again, and I’m honestly getting really stressed because I’m getting married in about a month.

I had a similar infection around 6–7 months ago, and unfortunately it lasted for almost 5 months. Now, for the past month, I’ve been experiencing the same symptoms (cottagey discharge, itchiness, smell) again. I’ve been using clotrimazole vaginal gel, and it does help somewhat, but the infection/symptoms keep coming back and it doesn’t seem to completely cure it.

Has anyone else dealt with recurrent yeast infections like this? What actually helped you get rid of it properly? I really want to get this under control before my wedding.

I’m planning to see a gynecologist as well, but I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and what worked for you.
Thank you so much!

Cup users come to the front

Ive been wearing menstrual cups for at least 5 years now but I usually alternate between pads and cup and just use pads toward the end of cycle. My favorite thing about them is not having to check up on it as often as paper period products.

Well today I’m wearing it on day 6 & my vulva felt kinda weird and itchy (0 chance of stds not sexually active) so I removed the cup and there was no menstrual blood whatsoever there was just a little clear liquid inside which I’ve never had before because I typically don’t wear the cup through the end of the cycle.

Trying to figure out if

  1. the irritation was my body’s way of saying “hey I’m done remove the cup”
  2. a reaction to the silicone (which I’ve never had previously). Or
  3. something entirely different lmao.

If it is #1 that’s awesome! Vaginas are so cool! Anyone else experienced anything similar?

NSFW - bump on labia

I haven’t shaved it about two weeks and when I went to, I noticed this bump that definitely came overnight. It didn’t hurt and it wasn’t sore or anything like that once I did shave. I was very careful around the area, but it actually ended up popping in some liquid came out as well as a little bit of blood. Still doesn’t hurt, but it has gone down significantly. I haven’t had sex in about 3 to 4 weeks or could this possibly be?

First photos are before last one is hours later.

My labia minora suddenly turned darker is this normal?

Hi everyone, I’m a little worried and wanted to ask if anyone has experienced something similar.
I noticed recently that a part of my labia minora, which I remember being pink before, has become noticeably darker/greyish-brown. The rest of my vulva has always had some natural pigmentation, but this particular area seems different from how I remember it.
I’ve attached a photo for reference. I don’t have significant pain or anything like that, but the surrounding area looks a little irritated.
Has anyone experienced their labia minora changing color like this? Can irritation/friction cause this, and does the color usually go back to normal? Or should I get it checked by a gynecologist?
I’d really appreciate experiences/advice, because I’m honestly overthinking it.

Blood discharge scared not sure what it could be

Hi I am 29 year old female and a virgin I have been having some bloody discharge. For some history, I do have BV and a yeast infection that is frequent. It has started since I was little but I had never had any abdominal period. The only time I had no period was when I was anorexic which was about 3 years ago, but I am fully recovered and had normal periods since. Anyways I had a little bloody discharge about a week ago but just for one day, today I had it happen again. I am beyond scared that it could be cancer related, I haven’t had a Pap smear ever since I am so scared to put anything inside me, my doctor hasn’t had me get one since she knows I haven’t had any sexual relations with anyone, I know I know I should get one but I’m so scared, is this a sign of cancer?
