dry itchy skin around vagina lips

Hi, I just had a c-section about 2 months ago, because he was 2 weeks late.. did not want to come out. Anyways, I am sexually active been with me current boyfriend for 2 years. I have dry skin around my vagina I can peel it, it reminds me of sunburned skin. It itches.. like not to the point where its incomfortable. This dry skin thing just started happening about 2 weeks ago when I was on vacation in North Carolina.. I did use different tampons.. the tampax pearls. Could it be from that, or could I have a year infection cause I do have a discharge.. a white discharge, just like a yeast infection. I never had the peeling of the skin before though.. can someone help me!

I had my c section about 3 months ago, I had the itchy burning sensation I went to the dr for the medication for a yeast but the test came back saying it was a bacterial infection. I've had them before so you can either get a cream or the dr will give pills that you take for a week. Make sure while this is happening you are not sexually active. You will just pass it on to him and you'll get it back your self.

If you know it is not a STD then post in women's health or see a Dr.

Any other suggestions of what it could of been.. It's gone away now... the dry skin. Now it just itches and white discharge.

It sounds fungal - the peeling skin-  but since you had a c-section 2 months ago, it could be something hormonal.

You should follow up with your doctor.
