Don't douche: First don't douche. The vagina does a great job cleaning itself and you don't need to douche. Douching will only make the healthy normal flora of the vagina off. Second the two most common causes of itching are contact dermatitis and yeast infection. If you are using any new products then stop doing so and see if this makes a difference.

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?
