What Causes Severe Itchiness On Inner Labia?
Hi, a few weeks ago i woke up with severe itchiness to my inner part of the labia. I knowingly and unknowingly scratched it all night. I woke up in the morning and decided to look to see what was going on and to my surprise i had two white bumps accompanied by and white line that was a little raised that followed from the middle of my labia to the bottom in a curved line ( 1 inch long )! that morning it burned when i pee d, expecting that i actually caused a bit of trauma to the area....after a couple days the pain was gone but the mark stayed. What is this???

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The white colored line could have formed as a result of excoriation or itching the area long time.
The line will fade away within few days if it is caused due to excoriation.
The itching in labia was probably due to infection.
Fungal infection is associated with intense itching.
In the itching still persists , you can use an anti-fungal ointment for treatment of infection.
Burning sensation while urinating could be due to urinary tract infection (UTI) or due trauma to superficial skin as suspected by you.
A urine examination should follow to rule out urine infection.
Infection of urinary tract and reproductive tract can co-exist.
Treatment of both infection of reproductive tract and urinary tract is with antibiotics.
Thanks and take care
