How To Treat Crawling Feeling Inside Vaginal Lip?
For the past week or two I've been having this crawling feeling inside the lip area of my vagina. I've noticed this when I used a hair remover down there. After that my vagina has been having this burning sensation when I wash. I used vagisil creams, keep it very clean but nothing is helping. What is wrong?

Hi,
According to your description the possibilities are:
If you have used hair removal cream there is possibility to little allergic reaction to the cream or if you used hair removal equipment there is possibility of abrasions due to that which are leading the pain.
The possible steps that can help you are:
As you have used vagisil, which is a lubricating cream, if the problem is because of dryness that might have cured by this time.
As the problem is still persisting we have to rule out the possibility of abrasions or any possible infection. So, what you can do is instead of using any soap or disinfectant solution better to use vaginal wash with a PH of 3.5 to 4.5. And if the problem still persists better to get examined by a gynecologist and use local antibiotic cream which can possibly cure your problem. If the symptoms recur in future, better to change the hair removal product you are using.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
