I think I have crabs! What should I do?

Check these out, too...

I've found tiny white little things in my pubic hair and I also have other symptoms of crabs, but I'm too scared to tell anyone! Who should I tell first? Help!

First thing’s first: We know it’s embarrassing, but you really ought to tell your mom. You should go to your physician or gynecologist ASAP to see if the symptoms you’re experiencing really are crabs, and to have a treatment prescribed. Treatment for crabs usually consists of medication, either prescription or over-the-counter. You’ll also need to wash all of your bedding, towels and recently worn clothes in hot water. Trust us, life is just easier when Mom knows what’s going on.

Crabs (or pubic lice) are typically considered to be a sexually transmitted disease, or STD. The lice are most often transferred from body to body during sexual contact, but they can also be acquired by sharing already infected bedding, towels or clothes.

They usually cause intense itching, most often at night. You might be able to see grayish-white insects in your pubic hair, or the pinhead-sized nits clinging to the hair. You can pick up a nit comb at any drugstore to remove the nits. You might also see bluish-gray marks on your private parts and thighs from the bites lice leave.

Bottom line? Tell mom your suspicions and get yourself to the doc immediately, babe. Whether it’s crabs or not, you need to get this sitch taken care of.

MOD Is there any way to make my breasts grow faster they are extremely small and i have been in puberty for 4 months and I am turning 11 next week

Hey bubblegumgurl, breast growth is something that has to happen naturally. So just be sure you're eating healthy so your chest would develop the right way. Remember boob size isn't everything. There are so many beautiful celebrities with small chests, think Charlize Theron, Megan Fox, Lauren Conrad, Kerry Washington, Aaliyah and Kate Hudson. Hope this helps! Xoxo

People, crabs are really really gross. If you ever see a picture of them online you will think they are the grossest thing ever. For some people maybe they need to see that so they can change their ways.

Hey amyrose99, crabs are a sexually transmitted disease and can be caught easily if one is not careful. Xoxo

MOD MOD MOD! Please help me, I'm really confused. This has only been happening really recently, like maybe in the past 3-5 months. Anyway, sometimes when I really have to pee, I get these weird jolts of pleasure. It usually happens at least once a day. And I can't really go to the bathroom until the 'jolts' stop, I'll end up peeing all over myself if I stand up. It mean seriously, it looks like I'm having an orgasm or something. It's really been concerning me lately, and I'm wondering if I should do something about it. Is this normal? Should I see a doctor? Please help.

Hey girly! I'd talk to your doctor about this if it's bothering you. The doc will have a better idea as to what it could be, and ways to help stop it. I wouldn't worry too much though
