Question
i started my period in september, I was using pad and then i got a rash outside of my vagina. twice i had brown discharge, the first time a little bit of blood came out with it too, now theres no blood. I just don't get it, i'm scared confuse and unsure? CAN this be an STD? I'm sexually active, but i've only been with one guy for 2 years. WHAT CAN THIS BE ??? help
Answer
I know people hate when I say this, but it is time to see a doctor. Please make an appointment at Planned Parenthood and be screened for sexually transmitted infections and discuss birth control, if you aren't already using a reliable method.
The stress you are feeling is not necessary, just go be tested.
