A member asked:

Female, married recently.intermittent itching occurs in the external genital area, labia minora & majora &area above the clitoris. is talc good to use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Corn starch is better than talc. You might want to make sure you don't have an infection, like yeast/monilia. And try to see if your soap, or perfume is irritating your skin.
