What Causes Dry, Wrinkled And Peeling On Vaginal Opening And Labia Majora?

I have experienced a dry, wrinkled, and peeling on my vaginal opening and labia major. It seems to happen at the end of my cycle for only a few days. And it has happened twice now. It doesn't itch, but hurts after a shower when the dry skin comes off. Usually worse in the morning.

Hi

Excessive vaginal dryness cause dryness,wrinkling of vaginal region. Frequent rubbing and washing of the vagina can also strip away the moisture and cause dryness.

Vaginal dryness can also occur due hormonal imbalance and aging. These causes should be considered for further management.

Mild vaginal moisturisers can be used.Adequate hydration and maintenance of vaginal hygiene is also beneficial.

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