Re: Re: Thick white discharge

[Guest guest]

Sandi and M,

I too have a white, filmy coating on the inside to the labia. It is most

noticeable right in the groove between the labia majora and minora, up

above the vagina. Mine is really stuck on the skin, and to get it off I

have to scrape it with a fingernail. I've never noticed how it affects or

reflects my irritation though - I'll have to pay attention now. Dead cells

sounds like a plausible explanation though, just like when you peel from a

sunburn or something.

Sounds plausible wish i knew for sure.

oh sandy i just remembered, you might want to try oatmeal for the chapped and

dry area.

it works great for moisture and it is just like aveeno on a sunburn in fact i

think it works better. my husband is a red head and he got a bad burn on his

arms, so when i was taking my oatmeal bath he was sitting next to the tub and

i took some of the oatmeal and squeezed it on his arms and told him to let it

dry. in two days the burn was almost completely gone and his skin was soft.

He said it was great. so you never know it might help.

Take care
