Dry: It may be exzcema vs an inflammatory process... Try some vaseline or aquaphor.. If no improvement go and see your doc for an exam and possible biopsy.

Question 2

i keep getting cuts on my vagina and i also have extremely dry skin around my vaginal area that peels straight off? what could be the cause of this?

Accepted Answer

Many things: I would see a physician regarding this as it could be a variety of things.  A picture, in this case, is worth a 1000 words, and without a photo, it could be many things, dermatitis, eczema, yeast, lichen simplex, lichen sclerosis, psoriasis.  Sometimes they need to take a biopsy to be certain, so be prepared for that.  Good luck!

Question 5

i keep getting very weird vaginal cuts/ dry skin? i'm not sure what it is. how do i get rid of this? it has been happening for months.

Accepted Answer

Skin biopsy: The skin of the vulva and tissue inside the vagina can be subject to infection, inflammation, and other skin conditions, such as psoriasis. The best way to diagnose this is to be examined by your physician while having symptoms. A biopsy or cultures for infection or both may be needed to achieve a diagnosis.

Question 6

should i put bacitracin on dry skin on vaginal lips?

Accepted Answer

no: That will cause the mucosal membrane to get drier.  See your gynecologist since you are needing treatment and household items should be kept out of your vagina.

Question 7

i am experiencing vaginal dryness around the lips of my vagina. i'm in no pain, and there's no discharge, but there is some dry skin that peels off. ?

Accepted Answer

Obgyn evaluation: Consider seeing an Obgyn. They can examine the area and then order any testing that might be useful in determining the cause. Once a cause is determined then a treatment can be given.

Question 8

i have a patch of what looks like dry skin but slightly raised at the bottom of the labia, vry close to vaginal opening.. it's not sore but spreading?

Accepted Answer

An exam: Is the only way to find out if this needs treatment. If it seems to be spreading you should schedule an appt as soon as possible. There are many possibilities from your description. HPV is very common and can look like a patch of dry skin.

Question 9

dry skin on vaginal lips. it burns sometimes. itchy clitorus and inside vagina opening. recently tested for any std couple months ago. negative .

Accepted Answer

May be yeast: The only way to know what this is is to be examined by your doctor. It may be a yeast infection. If an over the counter yeast medication solves the problem then most likely that's all it was. Other possibilities include lichen sclerosis, lichen simplex chronicus, allergic reactions and psoriasis. Schedule a visit.

Question 10

i am experiencing  vaginal tenderness. the following also describes me: skin redness or irritation, pain while wiping only, and dry skin on labia. ?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal irritation: Sounds like you have some sort of vaginal infection. Do you have any discharge? You can try using an over the counter antifungal vaginal cream to see if that helps but your best bet would be to go to your doc and get an exam. Prescription pills usually work better because applying anything to an already irritated vaginal area can be really uncomfortable.
