What Causes Mild Itching On Labia During Pregnancy?

I m 28 wks pregnant and have a mild itching on my labia, is it ok to apply triple antibiotic on my labia to relieve the mild itching? I had a yeast infection a month ago and treated with clotrimazole. But this time I don t have any swelling or redness down there, just a mild itching on my labia, what could be the cause?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query
Itching is a symptom of fungal infection. You may be experiencing another episode of yeast infection in a milder way.

So I would advice you to consult the gynecologist and undergo physical examination for confirmation of diagnosis. You may have to take another course of clotrimazole.


Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
