What Causes Inflammation Between The Vagina And Anus?
Hello, i am 35 and I have inflammation between my vagina and anus, it s red and and growing since yesterday morning. Painful to the touch, walking and very itchy like burning. I went to the doctors and they took swaps inside my vagina and it s not apparent infection but the lump it s bigger tonight. I have herpes for 3 years but I didn t have any in about a year and this feels diferente and looks different, unless it will became bigger and explode like it normally did with heroes. But this seems bigger than ever it takes the spaces from vagina to annua and it s inflamed. What can I do? As they told me not to worry about it.

Hi,
Having excluded infection, and as long as it doesn't evolve into full blown herpes, my opinion is that it is an inflammation caused by irritation of the area, due to friction. Sometimes, the detergent used to wash underwear can cause this. Using a milder detergent, keeping the area clean and dry and applying lotion or oil on the irritated skin multiple times a day should bring relief and resolution. If the inflammation persists and or becomes worse, then you should have it checked by a doctor. All the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
