A member asked:

One side of labia minors is itching. no discharge, odor, or burning. what could it be? irritation from pads?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dermatitis: Contact dermatitis, such as you would get from using pads that are irritating to your skin could cause this. So could a yeast infection of your labia. You can try to put some over the counter Hydrocortisone cream or some anti-fungal cream such as Monistat on the area and see if either of the 2 helps. Hope that helps!
