There is nothing one won't hear or see on this Internet. This is
an article posted on Huffington post about 'Vaginal lipstick' which is reportedly made with organic avocado oil and honey
that claims to treat things like itch and discomfort, skin dryness,
"odor causing bacteria" and ingrown hairs. Even though this 'vaginal lipstick' is the latest craze in developed countries, some
people are against using it.
According to Dr. Maria Isabel Rodriguez, an assistant professor
of obstetrics and gynecology at Oregon Health and Science University, you really shouldn't use this. She said:
"At first glance, the idea of vulvar lipstick sounds like a joke, or another harmless beauty product," Rodriguez
said.
She listed a few very real reasons it may not be harmless at all. Despite the fact that the balm boasts a natural bill of ingredients, Rodriguez said:
"vulvar skin is very sensitive, and generally does best without any special soaps or shampoos." "If symptoms are so bothersome that women need treatment, they should absolutely discuss this with their gynecologist,"
she said. Issues like itching or pain or symptoms from vaginal atrophy
should be handled by professionals, she added, not vulvar lipstick. It worries her that women may use Lips Stick to treat symptoms, she added.
"While symptoms may be caused by yeast or hormonal. changes, it is essential they be evaluated to rule out any chronic skin conditions like lichen sclerosus (patches of thin, white skin) or even vulvar cancer," she said.
