What Causes Severe Itchiness In The Clitoris?

I have been having a terrible itch in my clitoris and opening to my vagina. Everything in my crotch area. I do not have a yeast infection. My Dr. Gave me an antibiotic anyway. Diflucan. This has been going on for months. I m going crazy and need help desperately! Please help me!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Itchiness what you are having around external genitalia appears to be due to mild inflammation of the skin and mucosa.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with cold water and mild antiseptic solution like Povidine-Iodine twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesion twice daily.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day, which would control itching.
4. Apply moisturizer cream or lotion over the parts at bed time.
5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoid friction in the affected area.
6. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. Gradually, your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
