What Causes Itching In The Crease And Top Of Vagina?

I have itching in the crease and the top of my vigina. it sweats between the crease sometime raw and burns. Not the open area. I do have sex. no discharge or bad smells. just sticky(underwear and pany liners fill like they sticking to me and itchey. ) and I do shave. I just started using a razor though. that could be it the shaving. I cant think of a std that would do that. but I may just go to a doctor.

Hello,

As you have used razor for shaving for the first time inbthe vaginal area, it is possible to experience little itching and discomfort as the hair grow back and use of razor makes the hair harder that grow back causing more irritation. This may disappear on its own within a few days as the hair grow back.

However, if the itching and other symptoms increase instead of decreasing, we can consider it fungal infection. In that case, you can take Fluconazole 150 mg (Fole) once a day for 7 days and can apply Betnovate-C cream (Betamethasone Valerate + Clioquinol) 2-3 times a day for few days.

I hope this answer helps. Thank you for choosing HCM. Let me know if you have follow up symptoms.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
