What is this & his do I get rid of it ?

So I've had eczema for my whole life. At one point about two years ago or so it acted badly on my vagina. When it finally ended on side of my vagina was flexed. My boyfriend wants to have sex but I can't give it to him because I'm afraid for anyone to know I have this. It hasn't gone away at all yet , what do I do & how can I stop it !

Lastly if you have eczema higher up on your body or are using any kind of scented body wash that may be part of what's causing it. My doctor recently told me that my dandruff was causing my facial eczema and since I started treating my scalp, it went away in both places. Do you have eczema on your stomach maybe?

Also from my experience once it spreads it's kind of just there. Alternatively I would definitely recommend going to see a doctor just to make sure it is eczema and not something more serious. You should ask them if it is safe to apply hydrocortisone cream there if they do confirm it is eczema. In the meantime, it is safe to use Vaseline there, just make sure you use a new tub and apply it with fresh gloves each time as not to spread bacteria.

I've had eczema my whole life too on my legs. While I understand how much more personal it must feel to have it in your privates, you should know that I spent years wearing long pants because I was too embarrassed of my legs- the scratches, the scars, and the jerks who would say "omg what happened??!" I thought I could never wear short shorts because of it, and it's even worse because shaving irritates it. But one day I just said screw it, its 90 degrees out, I'm not wearing pants. I bore the scars scabs and all and yeah, it made me feel exposed at first, especially because it isn't a condition explained in the media, but I slowly got over it and learned to accept it (or at least what it looks like... The itch will drive me mad until the day I die.) now I rock bikinis. As far as your privates go, everybody's is a little different regardless of eczema. I mean have you seen the variation in men's junk?? (And I don't just mean size.)Rock what your mamma gave you and if he doesn't like it then he's not worth your time, especially because eczema is such a personal struggle, I can tell you the best boyfriends I've ever had are the ones who were the most supportive about it. And who knows maybe it'll feel different in a good way. Just please know that there are others with eczema and we know your heartache and we are rooting for each other.
