Suggest Remedy For Itching In Clitoris
My prepuce of clitoris is really itchy, I started scratching it before and now theres like a little spot and is bleeding. At first I thought it was a yeast infection so I used monistat 1 and it stopped the itching for a good week and now its starting to itch again, what should I do?

Hi,
It seems that you may be having pruritus vulva. It may be idiopathic i.e. Without cause or secondary to some cause. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. The cause may be psychological,fungal,trichomoniasis,bacterial infection,internal diseases,anaemia or some other. Thorough investigations may be done to find out cause. If cause is found ,it may be treated. Antihistaminic like levocetirizine may be taken to relieve itch for long time. Antibiotics,antifungal or antiparasitic may be taken as needed. Mild steroid and antifungal cream may be applied. Sitz bath in dettol water for 10 min daily might improve the condition. You might be alright after few days treatment.I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
