Help. What could this be? Sensitive question.

I think there are 2 things that are most important to a woman--a good hairdresser and a gynecologist.

Exactly... Good luck with the OBGYN, KSH.

KSH, please read my thread:

Your sore sounds very similar to what I had, in the exact same place. It kept on all last summer and fall, and after giving it several months to heal over the winter, I finally took myself to the dermatologist. The cortisone shot provided INSTANT relief! It still has some purple discoloration but is flat and has no pain whatsoever.

Like you, I was riding the same (good) saddle and wearing (at least once I got the sore) very good shorts. Sometimes these things just get started, and take on a life of their own, even if you do everything "right".

I haven't ridden since the shot since I'm concentrating on running right now (plan to start riding again once daylight savings time is here), but I am hopeful my problem is behind me.

Please let us know what happens!
