well thank you all so much i actually just went to the dr's this morning and well he seems to think it may just be an irritation with the heat and i wear alot of jean shorts and i go to the gym 3-4 times a week (if i can get some time spare lol) so ive been given orders somwhat close to what boobaloo has suggested, when im home try to not wear any undies :P so heres to hoping the irritation goes away quickly thank you all though for giving me your advice on weight gains and other stuff means heaps Xo
