A question for the larger ladies (definitely TMI)

So my thighs rub together and are sore, which is obviously to do with my weight.

But over the past week my outer labia have been red raw - and I don't know if I'm now fat enough that my labia are rubbing on my thighs/each other? Or if it is connected to the fact my cervix is inflamed right now.

There is no STD causing the inflammation (been tested) and I've been on anti-biotics for about 2 weeks now. So it seems unlikely to me to be related - but at the same time I'd rather it was that than my fat :(

I always get sore bits when on antibiotics and I'm not very lardy.

Sudocrem works wonders. :)

It sounds like it might be thrush, from the antibiotics? Poor thing.

Canesten or clotrimazole ought to do the trick.

It sounds like the antibiotics are to blame. Sounds really horrid, you poor thing :(

Yup, I would agree with Flightattendant, sounds like could be thrush.

Make sure you use a pessary or vaginal (internal) cream or Diflucan tablet if you'd rather take something orally.

Thank you all so much! You've made me feel much less panicked - will try and get some cream for it tomorrow :)
