A member asked:
Is it common to for a vagina to smell like sweaty pubic hair all the time even if i always fully shave & wash. what shld i do?

Possible vaginitis: The genital area tends to sweat more than than the general body, and if you constantly wear tight fitting clothing, that can aggravate the problem. Bacterial vaginosis, however, will usually cause a vaginal odor without a lot of discharge or itching. I recommend that you visit your gynecologist for an exam to check it out, as it is treatable.

A week after I shaved, the outside of my vagina is itchy and smells like sulfur (similar to hair removal cream - even though I didn't use cream). I put sudocrem on it but that seemed to have made it worse?
