Hydrocortisone cream: You can get a low potency steroid cream over the counter, called 1% Hydrocortisone cream. If this does not relieve the symptoms, then you will need to see a doctor for other medication.

A week after I shaved, the outside of my vagina is itchy and smells like sulfur (similar to hair removal cream - even though I didn't use cream). I put sudocrem on it but that seemed to have made it worse?
