I Am Getting Irritation And Redness In My Vaginal Area And Am 18 Years Old. Is It Because Of Perfume ?
I used the perfume scented caress body wash in my vaginal area not knowing it would cause irritation and redness... I also just started seeing bumps that I never seen before and Im having white cloudy discharge. I am turning 18 in a month and I dont have any illnesses or anything, what could it be?
Hi,
There are many reasons for Vaginal irritation. You may have a vaginal infection or a yeast infection or a bacterial infection or vaginitis. Other causes may be from a chemical allergy . You may be allergic to certain soap or perfume or douche you are using.
Avoid sugar from your diet , as yeast occures from sugar intake, which can cause vaginal itch.
Yogurt is a great food to eat that not only helps keep infections away, but also can help cure them.
Wear loose cloths around vagina.
Change brands of laundry detergent, and try a softer kind.
Avoid store bought douches as well. Try switching the soap or body wash that you have been using.
Use anti-itch vaginal branded cream.
