What Causes Irritation In Clitoris?

It s been a few days since now since my clitoris has been irritated . I don t know if it was because the last time I was sexually active, there wasn t a condom at first and maybe the guy has std and possibly gave it to me or I always stick toilet paper with in my vaginal area so I don t ruin my panties, or that could be the reason as well. I m taking a warm bath as we speak right now to see if that will help

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I understand your concern.
The irritation of clitoris you have seems to be due to fungal infection, which can be incurred by-
- Sexual transmission while having sex with an infected person.
- putting a tissue paper on vagina every day, wearing a pantie on it & also a skirt/ geans on every thing-- makes the area moist & warm-- this is favorable for fungal growth.
* warm bath will clean the part & give some relief. ( Hot water may increase the irritation)
- Usually application of Flucanozole F ointment on the area suffices to clear the problem, if it's recent & superficial.
- But recurring problem/ excessive irritation needs oral treatment of both partners .
Please consult a gynecologist for specific treatment.
Thanks.
