Having Vaginal Itching, Dryness, Tears. Vaginal Skin Peeling Off. No Relief From Creams. Solution?
Hi I have been having vaginal itching, dryness and tears for the past 3 weeks. I have not had sex for the past 4 months so I don t think it is related to rough sex. The skin on my vagina peel off really easily. I have been using baby zinc cream and vaseline with no relief. I use water to clean myself every time I go to the toilet. I tried as much as I could not to be rough while cleaning myself, but I don t seem to heal. I have been on antibiotic for 3 years and feel like is an side effect. I am 28 yrs old. Also I don t know what to do with the dryness. Please help me. My husband will be back in a month but I don t feel like having sex due to my discomfort.

Hello ma'am.
I understand your cause for concern. But please let me inform you that most skin or genital related problems need to be examined and adequately investigated with laboratory tests to confirm the cause and accordingly direct the treatment.
Your symptoms can be associated with a num er of conditions like a urinary tract infection (UTI), dermatitis, psoriasis; and a few other conditions. But commenting on the exact cause can be difficult. Which is why I am emphasizing on a visit to the doctor, who will surely treat you effectively, before your husband returns.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
