A member asked:

The opening to my vagina feels scaly? like rough. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scaly: I would suggest getting evaluated by your doctor or a gynecologist. If at risk, it would be necessary to check for stds. Sometimes, however, sometimes the skin can get irritated. A biopsy can help too. Hope that helps.
