Rashes on the intimate regions of the body are not only annoying but also a cause of panic and stress. While some rashes are totally harmless and vanish within a day or two, others may be an indication of any other disorder. Hence, you should never take a genital rash lightly, especially if it continues to persist even after 2-3 days. It is very important to figure out the underlying cause of your rash if it stays for a longer duration or continues to spread to other parts of your body.
An intimate rash usually is a spread of irregular patches, bumps or lesions on a certain part of the skin on or around the genitals. If you understand the symptoms and causes behind your intimate rash, you will be able to treat it better and at the right time. Here are some rashes that most people get on their intimate regions but often ignore:
If you menstruate and you use a sanitary napkin, you are prone to get rashes near your vaginal area very easily. While these rashes are not very harmful but they may itch or sting, depending on the intensity. The skin becomes extremely dry during that time of the month and the constant contact with the synthetic napkin makes the situation worse. Make your buttocks and inner thighs well moisturized especially when you are menstruating.
If you wear uncomfortable, itchy fabrics for prolonged time periods, you are bound to get redness and rashes around your intimate regions. Those parts are the most sensitive areas of our bodies and react the fastest if they come in contact with synthetic materials or materials that do not absorb moisture very well.
Start wearing breathable and comfortable bottoms which won’t irritate your skin down there. Also, make sure that the fabric is not too snug or skin-tight so that it does not stop your pores from breathing. Wearing loose, comfortable clothes is the key here. Use SkinEasi regina preventive gel before wearing tight clothing, elastics or strappy dresses and lingeries. A tiny application creates a barrier layer and protects you for long hours!

Some of them are vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis (abnormal growth of the bacteria present in the vagina), candidiasis (yeast infection), chlamydia (a type of sexually transmitted disease), and trichomoniasis (causes green or yellow vaginal discharge).

Lice are tiny insects which are parasitic in nature. If you get lice on your pubic region, you will experience terrible soreness and itching down there. Pubic lice or body lice can transfer from one person to another during sexual contact. Scabies is caused by extremely tiny mites and it can result in dry, itchy skin. These mites can cause extreme discomfort as they can go very deep into the skin, leading to redness and itchiness. They can also attack your scalp or other body parts.
