I'm experiencing a really unbearable itch right at the entrance of my vagina, and there's this white, curd-like discharge coming from it. It also gets swollen if I scratch it. This just started yesterday, but it's already the second time this year that it's happened. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal medication. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry to help ease the discomfort.

View allI've recently noticed a small lump under my areola on my right breast, right next to the nipple. It's kind of like a hard ball and doesn't hurt when I touch it, but I can move it around a bit. I'm feeling under the weather with a cold right now. Could it be related, or should I be worried about something more serious?

I'm really worried because I noticed these lumps near my vagina, like on both sides, and it's freaking me out. I had a boil about two weeks ago and now there are four lumps. Do you think this could be an infection that's making more lumps pop up? I'm scared and really need some advice on what I should do.
Despite regular brushing and tongue scraping, the white deposit on your tongue can be persistent. Here are some additional remedies and products you can try: *Remedies* 1. *Saltwater rinse*: Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water. Swish the solution around your mouth, focusing on the tongue, and spit it out. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day. 2. *Hydrogen peroxide mouthwash*: Dilute hydrogen peroxide with water (1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water). Swish the solution around your mouth for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then spit it out. However, use this remedy with caution, as excessive use can damage tooth enamel. 3. *Baking soda*: Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on your tongue and gently scrub it with your toothbrush. Rinse with warm water. 4. *Aloe vera*: Apply aloe vera gel to your tongue using a cotton swab. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce tongue inflammation. *Products* 1. *Tongue brushes*: Instead of a tongue scraper, try using a tongue brush. These brushes have soft bristles that gently remove bacteria and debris from the tongue surface. 2. *Antibacterial mouthwashes*: Look for mouthwashes containing ingredients like chlorhexidine, which can help reduce bacteria and plaque on the tongue. 3. *Tongue sprays*: There are various tongue sprays available that contain ingredients like essential oils, which can help freshen breath and reduce bacteria on the tongue. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist and wash away bacteria. 2. *Eat a balanced diet*: A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support your oral health. 3. *Avoid tobacco and smoking*: Tobacco and smoking can contribute to oral health issues, including tongue coating. 4. *Visit your dentist regularly*: Regular dental check-ups can help identify any underlying oral health issues that may be contributing to the white deposit on your tongue.
