This is a bit embarrassing, but I know you lot are unshockable!
A couple of weeks ago I thought I had thrush. It was sore, rather than itchy, which it usually is for me with thrush, but I assumed that's what it was. I only just got round to treating it as it wasn't that bad, and I kept forgetting it.
Anyways, I treated it with Canestan Combi and hoped it had gone away. It hasn't. It obviously isn't thrush.
It is a kind of stinging pain, and when I look it appears the area is cracked - as there is a small cut (perineal kind of area), although it is not dry. It's a little red, but not too bad.
I've not been having random sexual experiences, nor anything kinky (actually, not much of anything going on in that area at all!!). What could it be? Mears, or anyone have any thoughts? TIA
