21-year-old Scarlet Kaitlin Wallen has persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD), a condition which causes uncontrollable arousal

Scarlet was just 6 when she began to feel severe and constant ‘pins-and-needles’ in her genitals

The condition stopped her from playing with her friends

She described the pain as ‘burning bugs under her skin’ and like her genitals were on fire

Freepik

She said, ‘My vulva was constantly burning - it was like I was naturally aroused but I didn’t want it’

In the last 15 years, she’s only had a handful of pain-free days and she’s unable to work or study full-time

She would deliberately use vapour rub on her genitals to distract from the unwanted arousal

Freepik

She has even had some of her genital nerves removed in a bid to numb the pain

With treatments and surgeries being developed all the time, Scarlet remains hopeful she’ll be able to have ‘a life without PGAD’ one day
