I have a white flaky substance on the hair down there. It’s not itchy. What is it? And what do I do?

 

It sounds like your mysterious flaky white substance is either dried discharge or dandruff. If you’re not itchy or smelly down there, you should be A-OK. Keep the area clean by splashing your vagina with warm—not hot—water when you shower. If it is dandruff and your skin down there seems dry, consider gently washing your pubic region with a dandruff shampoo to knock it out. And if it becomes itchy or stinky? Get yourself to your doc, quick. It could be a yeast infection, which is very treatable.

I have a lot of dandruff down there and itd really icthie and smelly do I have a yeast infection? and also kinda burns when I have to pee? plese awsner fast I need and awsner!!!!!




You should probably go see a doctor. It may be a little awk telling your mom, but she will totally understand! If it's a yeast infection, it's no big deal. They will just give you medicine and you'll be all better in no time!

1.ok this is an awkward question, but i was wondering HOW smelly does it have to be down there to be an infection??? because sometimes i can smell my discgarge if there is alot of it and if it is really hot out. ( i dont really think i have an infection, but sometimes it can be itchy down there too, same reasons.
2.Is it normal to have a lot of discharge???




Hey! There's no way to know by smell alone, but if something seems off talk to a doctor for sure. And yeah it's normal to have discharge every day.

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

I shave down there and use moisturizer to help make the shaved area feel better and not have problems with razor burn. It helps and I dont have problems with shaving like some girls, but could all the moisturizer I use help prevent the dandruff issue you are talking about. I never had dandruff down there and my skin feels well moisturized so could that why?




Hey girly girl! It's very possible, since lots of times, dandruff is caused by dry skin. If it works for you, I'd keep moisturizing!
