Question 8

irritated, itchy vulva. the only thing that soothes it is an ice cube. what is it? is it an allergy to soap?

Accepted Answer

Both: Without any lesion observed, I think irritation from soap, particularly scented soap should be considered.  On the other hand, it may also be from dry skin and you may try applying a moisturizer to the area immediately after bathing to see it this helps.   If not, consult a dermatologist.

Question 9

what could cause a sore / itchy vulva before period?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection. : This is common, the yeast grows because of the bleeding. Your doctor can prescribe something for it. Using a disposable vinegar & water douche before the itching starts may help.

Question 10

itchy vulva. won't go away. been two months. no external yeast infection creams work. help please!!

Accepted Answer

Vulvar itching: Have the area examined. There are other infections that can cause itching. If it is yeast then a medication by mouth may be more effective. It also may be something you are coming into contact with that you are sensitive to, such as latex. All the best.
