What Causes Constant Itching Close To Vagina?

Ok. I have been very uncomfortable since the past week because of a constant itching close to my vagina, on the outside. I m female, 20 years old, virgin, 1m 68cm, 55kg. I wash every day with cold water between my legs, and I use lactacyd once a week, so what can be the cause? And will it stop?

Hi,

I want to know whether it is there just before your periods time or throughout the normal days. Is it associated with any foul smelling vaginal discharge? How is your urination? Is it painful or burning? If itching is present only during menstrual period or just before that, it is called premenstrual vaginitis. Maintain your personal hygiene, change your undergarments during that period and wash your genitals with soap three time a day. Take plenty of water. Avoid using tight undergarments.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana Rajesh Babu, OB & GYN Specialist
