How To Treat Red, Dry And Itchy Vagina And Vaginal Opening?

I began noticing after using my razor that had rust on my hair below and now my lips and outside region of my vagina are red itchy and dry and they seem to be fanning outwards as well. This has happened a couple times before but has become uncomfortable especially with sexual intercourse

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
It happens sometimes with shaving and will be over dramatically very soon. On the Outside skin apply Triamcinolone acetonide ointment. For discomfort in sexual intercourse use Lubricant gel to relieve itching and dryness.

Take Claritin by mouth twice daily for itch and discomfort relief. Take plenty of fluids and keep away from hot humid and dry environment. Wear All-Cotton underwears only. Keep the area clean. No vaginal douches. Don't shave until you get better down there.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.
