I noticed you also posted in the vulvodynia thread—though I don't see you there anymore—so I was wondering how things are going for you lately. I actually wrote out a detailed post about my own struggles, though I'm not entirely sure if it's actually vulvodynia or something else... so I'm curious to hear what your experience has been. I'd love to know what the doctors have told you, if you don't mind sharing.

Give me a shout if you can—I'd love to catch up!🙂

Oh, I just finished reading your post... luckily I don't have vulvodynia anymore—well, not entirely—but it was burning for four months straight. I ended up taking some Diflucan and using Gyno-Daktarin suppositories along with Citrofit and Acidosalus (both the topical kind and the oral ones). Anyway, the daily burning has finally stopped—though I guess it still stings occasionally—but it hasn't fully cleared up yet, and I still have that lingering acidic sensation down there. That's actually how this whole thing all started.
What kind of symptoms are you experiencing—if you don't mind me asking? I guess it might depend on what's bothering you.

I'm not entirely sure, dear—it might just be a phantom sensation, I guess.
It would probably be best to have it checked out. Maybe show it to your OB-GYN during your next exam!

Nothing is actually raised and there isn't any pain... I'll show her... I have my Pap smear scheduled for February 28th... so I'll ask then... hopefully I can stay calm until the 28th. :/
thanks for the reply!

So, right underneath the labia, on the bottom right side of the vaginal opening... there are two tiny black spots... :/ I guess that makes it a bit clearer? If anyone knows what I might be talking about, any insight would be really helpful!

Hi everyone... I’m not sure if anyone here might have an answer for this—I tried searching online before starting this thread, but no luck. Since I’m a new member, I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules... please don't be too hard on me! Anyway, the reason I'm posting is that I've been dealing with recurring yeast infections and vaginal inflammation (that stinging sensation right at the opening) for quite a while now. It actually got to the point where I was curious enough to take a look myself to see what was going on. Everything seemed pretty normal, except for right at the entrance—on that "ring" area surrounding the opening, if that makes sense—where I noticed these two little dark gray lines on the bottom right side. Honestly, I have no idea what they could be. I’ve seen a few gynecologists about the infections, but none of them ever mentioned anything about this... maybe because they were so focused on using instruments to check my internal health that they didn't pay much attention to the external area? Or maybe it's just something I never noticed before. Has anyone else experienced something similar or perhaps heard of what this might be?
I really hope someone can help me out!
