Question 1

my 6 yr old daughter has been saying her vagina is itchy but i've checked no redness or white discharge. could she still have thrush??

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Before puberty, an internal yeast infection is unlikely. Irritants are usually the cause. Make sure no bubble baths or excessive soap use during bathing. Make sure underwear washed in sensitive skin products. Drinking excessive juice can cause the urine to have too much acid and irritate that area. Sometimes pinworms can move to that area so check for rectal itching. Apply vaseline to help itching

Question 2

the outside of my vagina is getting itchy?

Accepted Answer

Itchy: Very well could be vaginitis or another type of infection. See you doc so it can be treated properly and quickly.

Question 3

is it normal for the outside of your vagina to be itchy 3 days after you shave it ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Razor burn could cause most of this especially considering hairs may be starting to grow. Good luck

Question 4

the inside of my vagina is swollen and its itchy on the outside?

Accepted Answer

You need an exam: Chemical irritation from soaps etc., infection, or trauma could be causes.  An exam would help solve your problem.  You can use 1% Hydrocortisone creme externally until your exam.

Question 5

i've had some discomfort in the vagina. the outside walls are red and itchy and there is white lumpy excretion. it also feels dry. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal pain: The symptoms described are similar to yeast (fungal) infection. There are "over the counter" medications ( Monistat, Femstat, etc) which may work. If not see your healthcare provider for an exam and recommendations.

Question 6

why is my vagina itchy?

Accepted Answer

Exam!: There are many possible causes of vaginal itching, including irritating chemicals, yeast infection, skin diseases such as eczema, sexually transmitted diseases, stress &amp; cancer. I therefore suggest you get examined at a medical clinic as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!

Question 7

itchiness in vagina for a week now?

Accepted Answer

One possibility.: A clumpy (cottage cheese- like), white, non- odorous discharge associated w/ itching, burning, swelling or redness can be due to yeast infections. Sometimes no discharge is noted.

Question 8

why is the inside of my vagina so itchy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Vaginal itching can be due to yeast, vaginal atrophy, allergic reactions, chemical irritations, and a number of other causes.  If you have a persistent problem, see your doctor.

Question 9

what does it mean when a vagina is itchy?

Accepted Answer

Yeast, allergy, lice: You can have an external yeast infection without significant discharge. If that's what it is, it would respond to Clotrimazole 1% cream. But it's also common to have allergic reactions in that area. Antihistamines and steroid creams would help with that. If you might have acquired pubic lice - see a doctor for confirmation and treatment.

Question 10

im itchy in the vagina what could have caused?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal itch: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.
