Do not panic. America is obsessed with STDs. it may be razer burn, you could be allergic to your underwear, or a new soap. However visit a doctor just to be sure.

Could be lots of things.
It could be a skin condition caused by wearing too tight panties/jeans.
You could be allergic to your soap or body wash or laundry detergent.
If you shave, you could have a razor rash. Try a little more shaving creme or lotion, whichever you use and remember to shave WITH the grain not against.
Best thing to do is let your doctor look at it. You can go to the health department and in most cases they can do an STD screen for free or little money, and besides, you are 18 so your mom doesn't have to know.

Poor thing. It is very scary when our bodies do strange things. But do not be afraid to go to a doctor. The thing with std's is that they don't always show up within moments of being with an infected partner. Sometimes they can take years to surface. If you are run down and stressed, this can cause you to flare up. And too if it is an std the sooner you have treatment the better. You are young but the longer you take to get treatment the more risk of causing damage for your future; ie: children.
In all honesty I don't think you have a disease. Could be sweat rash from wearing tight clothes. or from playing sport. But be brave and see a doctor. Good luck.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Make an appointment with your gyn/ob and let him have a look. If you have a breakout with one look he will be able to tell if it is related to ingrown hair follicles, HPV(the wart strain) or herpes.
If it is itchy I doubt it is herpes. Herpes are painful.
You want to treat this right? Then the doctor is the best way to go:)
Good luck

first thing first,u should not be shy to go to see the doctor because it is related to the to ur health problem.
in my opinion what u have to do is make sure that u always keep ur precious thing in clean.always keep it clean and make it in the well condition.make it in a dry condition because if it is in the wet condition,the bacteria are easily develope.for example. T. Motile Vaginalis bacteria.
besides that do not be hesitate to tell the person who is close with u and can share and solve the problem,like ur mother,sister or ur friend.but what the important things is go and see the doctor first.

Sounds like an STD, could be herpes. You need to see a doctor immediately.

If you shave that area it could be razor burn. Or are they inside or like around the vaginal opening?? if so..they are some kind of blisters...check www.webmd.com..and talk to a dr.
