What Causes Severe Itching Sensation And Dryness In Vagina?

I itch on the left outside lip of my vagina. It comes and goes but when it happens it itches like crazy to the point where it some times bleeds. When it does itch the skin looks dry and it peels. The one lip swells up which i assume is from all the itching. Kind of like dandruff down there. Its starting to happen more frequently and lasting longer. I have put all kinds of medicines on it. I don t know if this is connected or not but I also have a mucas type discharge when I wipe and no odor.

The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for severe itching. You can use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into your vagina for at-least 5-7 days. Maintain the hygiene of local part either by simple wash with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel for local application.
