What Causes Itching Of Clitoris?

I ve been having really bad itching on and around my clitoris and even on the side walls (inner lips) of the vagina. Today I noticed a white spot under the clitoris hood that looks almost like what the inside of your mouth would look like if you bit your cheek. It s like a rough looking white spot. I don t know what s wrong, but I ve been itchy for a few months now.. Going to the doctor on Thursday.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

According to your information, it could be due to yeast infection (fungal), sweating, dermatitis, tight clothing, pantyhose, g-strings, allergic reaction to bath products etc.

Treatment: 1) Use 1% hydrocortisone cream over labia majora and clitoral part. Oral Fluconazole tab may need to take to eliminate fungal infection.

2) Wear loose fitting pants and avoid tight fitting jeans, pants, g-strings.

3) Bathing in bicarbonate of soda - Bathe your vulva once or twice a day for 5-10 minutes in a basin or bath.

4) Don’t use perfumed soaps and bath products. Use 100% cotton sanitary pads and tampons.

5) Lean forward when passing urine - this helps to avoid burning or itching and always wipe or pat from front to back.

6) Maintain genital hygiene properly. Wear clean and cotton underwear. Keep the area always dry.

Hope, it helps for you. Take care and Be well.
