I am fairly sure you aint allowed posting this kinda thing here, this aint a medical board

Well its not like shes asking for medical advice. Its more a social thing.

Heeey... Maybe it could be a medical thing now that I think of it...

Everybody smells, but if you think its a bad smell, perhaps discuss it with your doctor. Perhaps its an infection, perhaps its just nature.

Could be an infection, like Victor suggested. But as I'm sure Beruthiel is going to say, get yourself to a doctor to check it out properly

Do other people notice it or just you?

Consult Your Doctor!

As dudara says, it could be a mild infection. Could also be a hormonal flux that is causing this (sweat glands ect). Go to your doctor and get a quick solution to your problem.

Like the others said: I'd see a doctor.

From what I'm told, foods do play a part also (the same is true for mens "little soldiers"). In particular pineapple is supposed to be great (potatoes and pasta for men apparantly).

Those wipes are a bad idea, don't use them. They upset the chemical balance of 'down there', I can't understand why they're allowed to be sold actually.

What colour is it? What does it smell like? Is it a yeasty smell? Is it there constantly? Are you feeling unwell in any other ways? Are you sexually active? Are your periods regular?

More than likely it is just thrush.

It's easy for people to tell this girl to go see a doctor but it's obviously embarrassing for her!

OP if you are a member of BUPA or VHI they have a nurse line that you can call who may be able to help further but you might find you HAVE to go to a doctor at some stage.

yes
we are not doctors, this is not a medical board and none of us know what's wrong with you.
go to your doctor.
