I am 29 y/o, white, good vaginal and menstrual health (so far), & childless.
For the past few months, about 2 weeks before my period I have a very raw and dry feeling labia and inner lips area. When I wipe, it feels like I'm wiping with sandpaper. I'm not dry inside. I do have normal, clear lubrication discharge. No smells, no "cheese". When I pee, it feels like fire. I have checked and it's NOT an UTI or yeast infection. I have a healthy diet and am not over weight. I have never had a STD and it has been 3 months since my last sexual encounter. Also I never stay in wet bathing suits and use cotton panties and unscented pads and tampons. I never use soap around my genitals. Is this a normal PMS symptom that comes with age? It usually goes away by time I start bleeding (I think the lube of the blood helps). I've been using Vaseline for relief since regular KY or vaginal cream burns. Just..what is going on!?!?! Thanks in advance if I do not reply in a short time,
