Suggest Treatment For Itching And Redness On Labia Minora

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me about a bit . I started having an itch about two days ago on my vagina. I went to check it out and it looks like I have a rug burn on the labia minora . It s just below the clitoris and it s kind of swollen. It hurts when I pee and is extremely red and tender . I try to soak in bath water because it relieves the itching and pain. I m not itching much anymore except for at night and I ve started my period around the same time which irritates it even more . Is there anything I can do to allow this to heal faster ? I m not sure what could have caused this . Please email me back. I need help . Thank you .

Hi,

The perineal part is very sensitive, the common cause of itching maybe waxing or the application of hair removal creams. You should use the V-wash every time you go to the washroom. If there is any kind of swelling/inflammation you can wash your perineal area with salt water. It can also help you in relieving the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
