A member asked:

This morning in the shower i felt a burning sensation at the top of my inner vaginal lips. it stings and looks sore/red. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probable yeast inf. : In the absence of chafing from intercourse or prolonged use of a pad, for ex. A likely cause of this is a yeast infection. If this persists you may want to try an anti yeast cream. If your symptoms persist, consider a gyn evaluation. Good luck.
