What Causes Severe Itchy Rashes On The Labia Majora?

Hi! I started experiencing extreme itching on thursday night in my vaginal area so without thinking, i scratched but i think maybe i did it too hard... The itching has continued since then and its extremely uncomfortable. I checked myself and i have some kind of rash on my inner labia very close to my vaginal opening it doesnt really look like blisters it looks like my skin is damaged. I dont have abnormal or smelly diacharge but i am still scared. I started using anti itch cream today but im not sure that will fix the problem. Can you please help me?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to fungal infection, contact dermatitis.
I would suggest to consult dermatologist and undergo examination & vaginal swab test to confirm the cause
Following treatment will help you:
Application of clotrimazole ointment
Apply lactobacillus suppository
Oral antifungal like fluconazole can be used
Wash vagina with warm water and then apply apple cidar vinegar
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene by using V vaginal plus wash
Wear pure cotton loose inner
Avoid chemical cosmetics and douching
Drink plenty of water, eat healthy diet and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
