Yes - Rule out BV: Yeast infection causes irritation + can cause vaginal swelling, but best to see a dr, in case of bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas or chlamidia.Also if pregnant or 1st infection.You could self treat if u have had a vaginal yeast infection before.Vaginal cream or suppositories with applicator from pharmacy. Unsweetened yogourt with culture positive or lactobacillus acidophilus good for prophylaxis.
