dry or crusty clit?

[thetease13]

I tried searching to see if there was something on this board about it, but it's not letting me do a search for whatever reason...

So now I ask.

For whatever reason, my clit seems to be really dry. It's not the inside of it though, it's the outside. It almost like it's like a layer of skin trying to cover the the outside and then eventually close together, like a scab forming or something (if that makes any sense what so ever). But it's not really a scab. It's just dry crusty skin and well, it's annoying.
If I sit here and touch it, I can actually peel some of the crusted part off.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
No, it's not and STD, so don't even go there. lol.

I'm afraid to put any lotion or anything down there to see if that would help it any since that is a sensitive area.

So yes, any idea? Or any idea what I could do to help it?

You might be using a soap that is to harsh. Or laundry detergent. I would use vaseline on your clit. Vaseline cures everything. LOL. Not really but damn close. After your shower rub some on and at night letting it soak in. It really shouldn't irrate you at all. You might want to wear a panty liner during the day also. That helps to absorb any moisture, as I am sure you know.

anyways, thanks for the tip.

Also, you might want to try to sleep naked. I dunno, it helps me if I get a bit irritated after my period. I also tryed putting lotion (Jergins) and Vagisil, and both were fine for me, but you mgiht want to check, cause you mgiht react differently to that. Good luck

Use a lotion that is non-alcoholic. Lots of lotions do contain alcohol - check the label. I use Nivea for everything.
