Brief Answer:
surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX such a significant amount of weight loss is bound to leave behind excess skin. With so much loss of tone, only surgery will help reduce the extra skin followed bu toning. Also the itching and soreness in the vagina is likely due to infection. Use a ph balance feminine hygiene wash. Start probiotics and avoid sexual contact for a week.
