What Causes Irritation And Tingling Sensation Around Clitoris After Using K-Y Ultragel?
Brief Answer:
Due to allergic reaction.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The irritation of the skin is likely to be due to an allergic reaction to the gel. It is best to wash the area thoroughly with a vaginal wash and water to remove all the remaining gel. Apply calamine lotion or aloe vera gel on the area to decrease the irritation. You can also apply 1% hydrocortisone ointment available over the counter to reduce the stinging sensation.
Taking antibiotic is not likely to help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
