Question
I'm 14 and I have been on birth control for a year. I just go off this summer. I have an itch problem and it's not near my vagina, it's on my legs close by thought. It keeps itching and I have this kinda thick discharge that scares me. I don't know what to do! I'm scared I might have something. I took a bath in vinegar with water. It still itches. I don't know what to do. I don't know what it is. So please give me an answer.
Answer
There are many things that can cause an itch on your skin, and any doctor can help figure out what is causing the itch and prescribe something to help - but they have to look at your leg where it itches. While you are there, ask about the discharge. Good luck!
