What Causes Small Tear In My Skin Reaching My Pubic Area?
I have a small tear in my skin. I am overweight with a bit of a belly burlge that hangs ove r barely reaching my pubic area (I m female ) I was washing and noticed under that bit of stomach at the crease there is a tear. What is causing this? This is not the first time I think that has happened. I definitively had one in the top of the junction/ crease where thigh meets side of stomach, but I attributed that to over stretching during intercourse with my boyfriend in a new position.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Small tear in the skin at the site of junction of skin folds is most likely due to the skin rubbing over each other.
This causes friction between the skin, leading to tear and trauma in the skin.
You should try for weight reduction and decreasing the skin folds to overcome this problem.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
