What Causes Itchy Areas On Labia Majora?
I have developed itchy areas (bumpy like areas under the skin, maybe 3 total ) on one side of my labia majora. Not possible to be std due to lifestyle. I work out a lot and recently did so without showering for a couple of hours after a 4.5 mile run. Could that be the cause, how should I treat.

Hi,
I understand your query,
If you are sure about preventing STDs, the itchyness can be due to allergy to sweating/ flurishing of old nonactive fungal infection because of the sweat making the area moist & warm.
Take a through wash &apply betrnovate N ointment-this should take care of it. In case it persists, consult a gynecologist for treating probable infection.Usually treatment of both sex partners is given.
Thanks,
