Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Itching
Question: Hello.
Recently I became itchy in the crease of the inner labia above the clitoris, more on the right side, so I scratched at night and woke up thinking I shouldn't scratch, but sooth it with a cream I use sometimes, that is a German diaper rash cream. However, I think I irritated it too much. I left the cream on over night and washed it out the next day. When my boyfriend and I began foreplay the next day, we both noticed I had a bump in the folds above the clitoris and a larger bump inside the folds in the area where there had been irritation. Neither bump causes me pain but if I press down on my pubis above the bump I can feel discomfort, soreness.
Is this something that will go away by keeping it clean and not irritating it?
Thanks,
XXXX

Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it seems to be folliculitis.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to wash the area with water only, keep it clean and dry and avoid using diaper rash cream.
Instead apply a topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the bumps twice daily for 5-7 days.
This should resolve them.
