A member asked:

My vulva is red and gets irritated. does vulvodynia usually make the vulva red? it doesn't hurt to have sex. although it sometimes hurts in the front

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GET IT CHECKED: Vulvodynia causes pain in vulva without any rash or redness.Your redness and irritation may be just redness in the skin, due to skin condition, contact dermatitis, infection etc.So get it checked to be sure from your doctor or gynecologist.
