Used scented washes down there and now I have painful ulcers. has anyone experienced this??
I think I seriously irritated my vulva by consistently using scented products/body wash to clean down there because I wasn’t really educated on that stuff.At first I thought it was thrush because I had itching/burning, so I used thrush cream and the pill treatment. It calmed down a bit, but then I used a “zero” body wash thinking it would be gentler and everything got way worse.
Now I have painful sores AND ulcers on my vulva, stinging, raw skin, and it hurts badly to wipe or pee. It genuinely feels like someone fucking sliced my skin down there and it gets uncomfortable to walk. The inside hurts too. I’ve stopped using all products and I’m only washing with water now.
I then called 111 who were absolutely useless and they told me to book a GP appointment which I’m doing tomorrow, but I’m honestly panicking and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced severe irritation like this from products or if it turned out to be something else.
Please no judgment because I already know I messed up using scented products there :(
