I had a varicosity on one of my labia with my first pregnancy. It was a varicose vein on my genitals. It was pretty sore and easily irritated and the only thing that helped was having DS. It went away fairly quickly after he was born, thank goodness! I'm sorry you have one too. I found it to be very uncomfortable.

A skin tag is just a benign tumor, an overgrowth of squamous skin cells that hangs off your skin like a floppy little tag. It's soft and normal feeling--not rough or weirdly rubbery like a mole. It feels like normal skin that just really shouldn't be there. Some people say you can pinch them off, tie them off and let them fall off and die, or cut them off with nail clippers or scissors. I'm a home remedies kind of girl and would totally consider doing one of those if the skin tag weren't, you know, ON MY LABIUM. Think I'll ask the midwives to take care of it, or recommend someone who can.

Pregnancy is so glamorous!

The vast majority of my skin tags went away after birth. Granted, they weren't on my labia, but my underarms were populated with a forest of them. I have a few left on my breasts.

I have one. It's not going to outshine the others listed, though.

This weekend DW had to do some "personal landscaping" for me. That was SO not glamorous. It was not a "sexy shave". It was me standing spread-eagle in the tub, holding back certain parts of my body, while holding onto the shower side to not fall down, so she could use the trimmer and me almost screaming for her not to cut me. I now look like a weed-wacker got a hold of me because she didn't use a guard. Long parts, BALD spots, very un-pretty. She says, "At least it's not a jungle anymore". Then she says, "Hmm...it's quite...pungent huh?" I had just showered and yes, it's hormones so spare me more embarrassment ok? Then she asks to see it later and laughs because it looks so bad now because of her crappy trim job.

clitoral abscess.... CLITORAL ABSCESS!!????? Oh mama...that sounds horrifying. HORRIFYING! I have an almost varicose vein right next to my clitoris and that is terrible enough.

All my black undies are bleached in the crotch. Not from any chemicals, but from my own natural discharge. Nice.

My BO in my armpits is worse than DH's. It smells like I haven't showered for a week about 2 hours after I've showered. Awesome.

DDCC -

we had a whole thread on this in the Sept DDC early on. Never could figure out why that happens but it happened to a LOT of us!

Im even embarrassed of my DH seeing me in my crotch-bleached panties because I can only imagine what he is thinking...

"What in the world sort of acid is that thing producing and I put my most sensitive body part in it?!?!"

Ahhh! I have the panty bleaching, too! WTF?!! Not just on dark ones, but even my white undies are all discolored from my apparently acidic vaginal discharge! Gah!25

I guess I have another...but I'm not even sure how to explain/describe it...

My perineum has horns? Like, a protrusion/bump on either side. I noticed it because I was getting really chafed (by the way, I highly recommend Northern Essence Diaper Salve for chafing and general discomfort), and I ended up feelin' around and then looking in a mirror.

Two bumps, like little horns! They're not hemorrhoids, I don't think. I don't recall having anything besides the very swollen labia/vagina and hemorrhoids last time.

Am I the only one with this strangeness???

Honestly, due to the DRASTIC change in landscape in my nether regions, I do NOT tend to take a mirror down there. It's frightening. So, there might be horns....

I agree! I could have the same thing, but I have no idea, and I am NOT taking a mirror to myself.

I officially started leaking pee today. One more week of work left. All my mat clothes are skin tight and my feet are so sore and I sweat buckets...I feel very sexy at work...not!

I'm so sorry to hear about the troubles you all are having!!
