Blue waffle is a condition that has received widespread coverage over the internet. Even though this condition is claimed to be a painful sexually transmitted infection, not much is known about it. As this condition has not been recognized by the medical community, it is not known if the condition actually exists or is just an urban legend. The condition is also not backed by documentation and images and so awareness about it is limited. However in this sexually transmitted infection, the genital areas of the body turn bluish and have a bruised appearance. With this condition, the person may also experience a heavy discharge which may be yellow in color and have a bad odor. The blue waffle treatment largely entails prevention and through awareness of sexually transmitted infections, this condition can be avoided.

The blue waffle condition may affect both men and women, though it tends to affect more number of women. Like other sexually transmitted infections, this infection can also be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact with an infected individual. In this condition the person may also get sores on their genitals. Blue waffle treatment includes practicing safe sex and using condoms during any kind of sexual activity. It is also important to follow good hygiene practice as poor hygiene can increase the risk of infection. Proper hygiene practices include keeping the genital areas clean and dry. For women it is important to wash the genital areas from front to back. Women should also avoid using heavily perfumed products in the genital areas.
