What To Do For Itchy Clitoris?
why is my clitoris itchy?
I'm 15 and lately my clitoris has become really irritable and itchy but only around the time I go to sleep (throughout the day it's fine) I have not had and sexual contact
with anyone and am still I virgin but I masturbate regularly. I recently started shaving my vagina a couple of months ago but that didn't seem to cause any problems. Theyre are no spots or any sign of what might be causing the itching but the clitoris is slightly more red in colour. My period isnt regular and hasn't come at all this month. I am too nervous to go and see my doctor, so please help. Thanks

Hi,
According to your history the possible causes of your problem are:
- Vaginal discharge though it is physiological, when it is collected around the clitoris sometimes can lead to itching.
- Masturbation can lead to increased skene's gland secretions around the clitoris and increased blood supply, leading to itching.
- Minor cuts or infections due to shaving can also lead to itching.
So, the measures that can help you are:
- Using vaginal washes like Pri wash or Inti wash etc. for two times a day.
- Avoid masturbation till the clitoris comes to normal color and itching decreases.
- Better to avoid shaving also for a few weeks. Instead, you can use some hair removal creams.
- Sitz bath helps in relieving itching and any signs of inflammation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
