Thanks for the input.
I didn't take a hot shower, though now that I think about it, I felt something strange happening while I was out in the city—it only actually came out once I was in the shower. xD
Gross, gross, gross...
But if it's normal, then fine.🙂

Look, I get that spotting is normal, but this wasn't just a little bit—it was a massive chunk.
Oh, melloworca6, what would I even do without you? You're always there to bail me out on every single thread. 🙂

I need urgent help if anyone has dealt with something similar!
I'm on my period right now. I was showering today when I noticed some tissue at the bottom of the tub. At first, I thought it was just a clot, but when I actually picked it up (!) it felt like a piece of flesh about 1.5 inches long. It wasn't washing away like normal blood clots; it was definitely tissue.
I've been searching online, and apparently, women say this can happen after giving birth if the placenta is still coming out, but I haven't given birth or even been pregnant!
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? This is the first time this has ever happened to me.
Also, just for context, my doctor ran some tests a few days ago and everything came back perfectly fine...

@ electricwalker35
It’s easy for them to claim they aren't treating tumors during presentations, but what happens when someone doesn't even realize they have one and treats the area as if it were healthy? Is it really worth playing that kind of game?

Someone on a similar thread claimed this triggers tumors if those cells are already present. How much truth is there to that?

Samuel Morgan40 said:St. Francis herbal oil is honestly a miracle worker for so many things, though I suppose it really comes down to the quality of the maker—it’s hit or miss depending on who you buy it from. I’ve been using it for years, and if I’m being honest, nothing beats the homemade stuff my grandmother used to make—her own olive oil infused with the St. Francis herbs she grew right in her backyard garden. You just let it sit in the sun for exactly 40 days and voilà. I’ve tried the commercial versions you find at places like Walgreens, but they always seem a bit more watered down to me, and I get the feeling they don't quite pack the same punch 😕. They just lack that distinct, rich aroma of high-quality oil.

Now, when it comes to tanning, the oil is great for softening and nourishing your skin, but—and this is important—it offers absolutely zero UV protection. So, please, don't go slathering this on during the peak midday heat; you should probably apply a proper SPF first
. Otherwise, St. Francis herb oil is incredible for drawing out boils, soothing inflammation, helping surgical scars heal—especially for postpartum recovery—treating minor wounds, and even certain gynecological issues (though, obviously, not for every single ailment!). It has proven most effective for those angry, inflamed boils; it seems to pull everything right to the surface. As for ingrown hairs, it might offer some mild relief afterward—at least, that’s how it works for me—but since I’m personally prone to them, the cycle just keeps repeating. I eventually found a better solution for that issue, though: Egyptian hair removal 😍😬

Sure, I believe you, but I’m a bit of a mess. Half the time I pluck, half the time I don't... whatever. 🤦

vividtinker17 said:Ugh, tell me about it, I deal with the whole ingrown hair struggle too... honestly, the only way I can manage is by playing surgeon with tweezers and needles, or better yet, just staying far away from razors altogether. I don't even bother shaving anymore, though if I'm heading to the beach for vacation, I'll just stick to waxing the bikini line... there's really no other way when you're dealing with thick hair like ours... lucky blondes, right? lol...🙂

I have an entirely different issue. When I pluck, everything grows back after three weeks only to become inflamed and irritated. If I shave, there's no irritation, but that smoothness doesn't last at all. What am I supposed to do? 🤷

Linda Price5 said:Avoid direct sunlight, and definitely watch out if you're taking any medication—mine specifically warns about interactions with St. John's Wort. 🙂

I already told you about the sun, and I'm not changing my mind. What exactly do you think happens if you go out there covered in lotion? Is this reaction supposed to be because of the St. John's Wort?

I don't take pills, but I want to know: what's the catch? Does the effectiveness just drop off?

Look, I get it. I was thinking about doing that along with an exfoliant and everything else, but I just didn't want to mess with harsh chemicals... 🙂 thanks for the reply

Old thread, I know, but whatever. I'll give it a shot.
Does anyone actually find that tea tree oil works for preventing ingrown hairs? I read somewhere that it helps, and plenty of you claim it heals skin irritations and keeps things soft.
I'm dealing with ingrowns in my bikini area, so I’m thinking about trying it.
Anyone got any advice?

Help, can I ask a quick question for those of you who actually get it?
Lately, I've been noticing a heavier discharge—it's white and has this intense, unpleasant smell. Honestly, I have no clue what's going on.
I'm debating whether to see a gynecologist, since I've never actually been to one. Based on your posts, they seem pretty dismissive, and apparently, you have to be incredibly persistent if you actually want answers.
Also, just to clarify, I've never had sexual intercourse or any kind of sexual contact, so I couldn't have "caught" anything if that's even what this is.

Thanks in advance!
