What Causes Vaginal Itching And Soreness Post Intercourse?
my lower vulva area is sore and itchy since having intercourse on friday, the additional combination of hair removal cream this evening has made the situation unbearable. it looks like theres is red dotting almost like a burst boo vessel on my vulva as well as swelling lower down towards the anus.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. Irritant you used (hair removal cream) might have increased the irritation. For such condition in patients I would advise ointments containing combination of antifungal agents like miconazole, anti bacterial like gentamycin and corticosteroid like beclamethasone for local application. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Using intimate wash daily is also helpful. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
