I'm wondering if it's safe to use a belly belt after delivering a baby, especially when I'm also considering family planning. Are there any risks or things I need to be cautious about?

I'm 16 and sometimes sexually active, but not always. I just started feeling an itch in my vagina yesterday, and today I noticed it's coming from this extra piece of skin on the right side. I'm really uncomfortable about it and not sure how to talk to my mom. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may have developed a vaginal skin tag, which can sometimes occur due to friction or hormonal changes. It's important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to confirm the diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
