Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Lots of things: Yeast infections are most common. Allergic reactions to household products are another -- soaps, lotion, laundry detergent, fabric softener. There are several skin disorders like lichen sclerosis and lichen simplex chronicus. These can be diagnosed by biopsy.
