Hi all, I’ve got a dilemma and I would like to see if anyone could offer any advice or maybe been through something similar and can offer a solution.

My vagina has reallyyy dry skin! It’s gradually gotten worse over the years for about the last 4-5 years but just today I’m at my wits end. I’ve been getting Brazilian waxes monthly for about 3 years now, most recently being yesterday. Well, tonight before getting in the shower I was just examining my body and noticed a bit of peeling skin on my vagina towards the top of the “V”, or where the labia majora meet. Upon further inspection, the peeling continued down the lips. Just to be clear it’s several, scattered parts of dried peeling skin, not the entire area.

I think it’s worth noting that prior to today this is NEVER been a reaction I’ve had to a wax, unless I didn’t notice. However I’m wondering if they may be connected. I have mentioned this to my to my OBGYN and she didn’t really offer much help. She said that it may be yeast on the outside of the vagina and prescribed me Nystatin cream. That was last December and clearly it has not worked.

Prior to today it’s usually just been kind of an ashy, dry look to my vagina. I’ve even been for the last few months moisturizing with Vitamin E lotion after each shower and it hasn’t helped with the dryness. I’m just super insecure about this and really have no idea what to try or do next. So all in all I guess I really have 2 problems: the dry, ashiness of the skin and now the peeling skin.

ALL SUGGESTIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED! If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much for reading! ❤️
