TMI- Downstairs irritation
Hi this is really tmi and I never post on reddit but literally this has been driving me crazy for years now and it only feels like it is getting worse no matter what I try. So when I was like 18 or so I would use Nair to remove my pubic hair and it worked for a while but the more I used it, the more I noticed that it would remove less hair, my skin was dryer, and it was more sensitive down there. Its like every single hair was a needle stabbing into the follicle. I tried to stop using nair and just let a bush grow but having hair is what made it worse! When I let my hair grow out its even more itchy and stingy. Now I do sugar waxing but the appointments are expensive and I still have the same issues. Dry skin, skin colored bumps, itching on the inside and outside of labia majora, and just an overall raw/stingy feeling. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING. Anti-bacterial creams, eczema cream, different unscented moisturizers, different sensitive skin exfoliates, vagisil itch wipes, salicylic acid moisturizers, fancy Fur oils, hydrocortisone cream. Every time I tell my waxer my problems its always "Are you sure you're exfoliating enough?" YES I AM!! I'm afraid to go to a gyno and be told that its a derm problem and they can't help me, or worse that it's all in my head. But I swear its not!! Somedays I ignore/don't feel the burning itch but other days its all I can think about. Also, before people say- I don't have discharge (not yeast infection), I've taken urine cultures in past (no uti), I have had sex before but I don't regularly so I doubt its a uti. Please if you can help me or think you know what I have please help. Even if you just want to like give me a virtual hug I swear I need it. I haven't been able to talk about this to anyone and I literally have no idea what to do at this point but just get expensive waxes every 4 weeks. (irritation is more manageable without hair).
