Question 6

Accepted Answer

Vaginal pruritus: Vaginal itching is a tingling or uneasy irritation of the skin of the vagina and the surrounding area (vulva). The itching may cause a desire to scratch the affected area.

Causes
common causes of vaginal itching include:

chemical irritants such as detergents, fabric softeners, feminine sprays, ointments, creams, douches, and contraceptive foams or jellies.
Menopause. A drop in the hormone estrogen causes vaginal dryness.
Stress may increase vaginal itching and make you more susceptible to infections.
Vaginal yeast infection
vaginitis. Vaginitis in girls before puberty is common. If a young girl has a sexually transmitted vaginal infection, however, sexual abuse must be considered and addressed.

Question 7

Yeast Infection: This is a common problem known as a fungal infection or 'yeast' infection. Medications to treat this are readily available at the drug or grocery store without a physician's prescription.

Question 8

bright red, itchy vagina. skin peels, bumps, hurts. small cuts. never been sexually active. 14 years old?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: If not sexually active then i would try over the counter anti-yeast vaginal cream, such as gene-lotrimin or monistat. If that doesn't help then please see your primary care doctor or a gynecologist.

Question 9
