Hi Dr.Jain,

I am 32 years old. I have itching and burning sensations. I believe its because i'm horny. I don't understand why it doesn't go away. The itching and burning has led me to scratch. This created open soares, like scabs due to my scratching. I applied neosporin to it and it has healed. But, I still get the burning and itching irretability. My last menstrual cycle just ended. I started on 9/3 and ended today 9/7. My labia minoras are now swollen. I'ts been swollen for an hour. When I first noticed the swelling, it occurred after I had itched and scratched terribly. My minoras were very hard. Both of them. I noticed that it would not go under my clitoral hood. What's wrong with me. My pap smears are normal. I did have chlamydia before, due to a cheating ex-boyfriend. I did also have an abortion in July of 2009. This history is a first for me. And everything only occured once. I don't know how to deal with the mishaps of my vagina. I have never had any problems like this before. What's wrong with me and is there anything I can do at home to help remedy it immediately?
