Contraception and VD - Irritation in the vagina area


Expert: Allison - 5/18/2009

Question
I've been having this itch within the inside my labia minora and my clitoris. Inside the labia minora its red and swollen. Its been going on for the past 3 days. When I pee or wash it, the water starts an instant itching frenzy. After it dries it just feels hot and numb. It still itches throughout. What do u think this is please?

Answer
Dear Mellissa,

There are several possibilities of what this could be. It is possible that is is a yeast infection. Or it could be more serious and be symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Infections.

As such, I recommend you go to your doctor as soon as possible to get the correct treatment.

Regards,
Allison
