I'm having some issues with itching and the skin around my vagina has been getting darker. It's been going on for about three weeks now. I'm really looking for some advice on what might be causing this dryness and darkening, and what I can do to treat it. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with eczema for about a year now, and I'm using Sorifix Ointment like my doctor suggested, but it's weird because the symptoms keep fluctuating. It gets better, then worse. Is this normal? What else can I do to manage it more consistently?

There must be some triggering factor,identify it and avoid it that will help you

I accidentally spilled hot water on a sensitive area and now there's a red mark and it's bleeding a bit. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Are there any home remedies you'd recommend to help it heal? Also, is there anything specific I should avoid doing?

Just leave it it would heal on its own,if its becoming worse,visit Urologist for appropriate management.
