What Causes Itchy And Inflamed Labia Minora?

What could be the cause of an itchy inflamed labia minora? My labia minora has been slightly inflamed and itchy over the course of the last three days. I also have a few painless skin colored bumps around the vagina. It cannot be an STD because I have not engaged in any sexual activity of any form. There is no unusual discharge either. What could this be?

The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of fungal infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching and combiflam or ibugesic-plus for redness and inflammation. You can also use clingen-forte vaginal pessary once daily at night. Maintain local hygiene of genital area by regular washing with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel.
