What Causes Itching And Burning Sensation In Clitoris After Clitoral Hood Piercing?

I have a clitorial hood piercing. I noticed an itchy and burning sensation of my clitorous about three days ago. I took the piercing out earlier today, as I know that the piercing itself can harbor bacteria and can cause an infection. The thing is, it isn t painful to urinate at all and there is no burning during urination. What could this be and what could I do to resolve the issue. I don t know if this affects anything but I m currently 12 weeks pregnant.

Your symptoms are mostly suggestive of some sort of fungal infection. For which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for itching and burning. You can take fluconazole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into your vagina once daily for at-least 5 days. Maintain the hygiene of private part either by regular washing with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel.
