Is itching and bleeding of the female genital skin serious?

Question by Puckprincess: Is itching and bleeding of the female genital skin serious?
The skin near my labia and vaginal area on both sides is itchy and it bleeds if I rub it hard. It's NOT a vaginal infection b/c I just treated one a month ago. My pH is normal too. I'm really nervous and upset and worried it might be something serious like cervical, vaginal, or vulva cancer. Has anyone else gotten this? Whether you had it or not, do you know if it's anything serious or just skin irritation? The bleeding after scratching and rubbing is what I'm most worried about.

FDA is investigating new preliminary data suggesting an increased risk of serious skin reactions from the anti-epileptic drugs phenytoin and fosphenytoin if they are taken by Asian patients who are positive for the human leukocyte antigen allele HLA-B*1502. These reactions include Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Phenytoin is marketed as Dilantin, Phenytek and generics. Fosphenytoin sodium is marketed as Cerebyx and generics. It is estimated that in parts of China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, 15 percent or more of the population may carry the HLA-B*-1502 allele. The frequency in South Asia, including India, is somewhat lower, and in Japan and Korea it is under one percent. It was previously established that another anti-epileptic drug, carbamazepine, increases the risk of these skin reactions in Asian patients with the HLA-B*1502 allele. FDA has recommended screening patients of Asian ancestry for this allele before prescribing carbamazepine and not starting the drug unless the expected benefit clearly outweighs the risk. In the case of phenytoin and fosphenytoin, the possible risk is still being studied, and there is not enough information at this point to recommend testing for the allele before starting therapy. However, FDA is recommending that physicians avoid using phenytoin as a substitute for carbamazepine in patients who test positive for the HLA-B*1502 allele. With carbamazepine, over 90 percent ...

Skin Tags and Pregnancy

Skin changes during pregnancy if your are luck will be "Pregnant Glow".  Yes people will commit on how great you face looks. Some people will claim a woman is most beautiful during pregnancy. During pregnancy your body is producing 50% more blood and there is more blood circulation thorough out the body. Resulting in the face appears clearer and brighter.

Skin tags are known as acrochordon. A small stalk-like piece of hanging skin.  Tags can range in diameter size from 2mm to 5cm.  Skin tags tend to be skin color or slightly brown. Skin tags are benign tumors prevalent in older people. Overweight people,  diabetes suffers, heredity and for unknown medical reasons some people are more prone to skin tags. In pregnant women skin tags growth are encouraged by hormonal changes.

No, skin tags are not painful unless they become twisted, irritated or infected. These conditions can be a result of jewelry or clothing rubbing against the tags.
