I took a Plan B pill recently, and now I'm experiencing a lot of pain on the outside of my vagina. It also feels really dry on the outside but not on the inside. Is this normal? Should I be worried or do anything to help with the discomfort?

Plan B contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that can affect your body temporarily. This can cause side effects like vaginal dryness, discomfort, or even irritation in some cases.It's likely that the pain is temporary and related to the hormonal effects of Plan B, but if you have any concerns or if the symptoms don't improve, definitely reach out to your healthcare provider.

View allI've been dealing with severe itching around my penny line and the lips of my vagina for a while now. I've already been treated for infections like fungal and bacterial, and all my urine and swab tests came back clear, but the itching just won't go away. There's no sign of lesions, just some redness after I scratch. When I do itch, it feels like I've got tons of little cuts and burns until I put some oil or cold water on it. Any idea what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called **vulvar dermatitis**, which can cause itching, redness, and irritation without visible lesions. Since infections have been ruled out, it could be due to an allergic reaction, skin sensitivity, or even friction. I recommend following up with a dermatologist or gynecologist for a more thorough examination and to explore treatment options such as soothing creams or anti-inflammatory medications.

I've been taking nitrofurantoin and now I'm on my last day, but even though the painful urination has stopped, I'm starting to get this itchy feeling down there, and I've noticed three small cuts on the skin between my vagina and anus. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or something else?
