Dr. John Chiu answered

Contact Doc: You likely have a contact allergy to the KY lubricant and topical cortisone for vaginal use would likely be the appropriate medication. However you will need to contact your GYN to get examined or a Rx. Do realize that yeast infection can produce itching as well.
