Didn’t know I needed to pull my hood back to clean it

Hey guys, I’m on mobile so sorry if formatting is bad. Also, throwaway account for obvious reasons but I needed to get this off my chest and I’m too embarrassed to admit it to anyone in my real life. I’m 24f and I wasn’t raised with proper hygiene education. I thought I was doing a pretty good job of making sure I’m clean (shower every day, brush teeth, etc) but I saw a video on TikTok this morning about how you need to actually pull the hood back on your lady bits and clean underneath. I had never done that and didn’t know you were even supposed to, so in the shower a few minutes ago, I did. First of all, this is the first time I’m actually seeing my bean and when I pulled the hood back, there was genuinely like calcification or something on the bean. I gently washed it off but it hurt and was very sensitive. Also, the smell was genuinely awful. I am so disgusted with myself and wonder if maybe my chronic UTIs I’ve had my whole teen/adult hood has something to do with not pulling it back and cleaning properly. TLDR I washed under my hood on my bean for the first time and it was disgusting. Anyway, I hope someone can relate. Sorry it’s gross.
