Itchy vagina

[happyface61]

I'm 18 years old and recently became sexually active. Lately, the outer skin of my vagina, mainly the labia and clitoris, have been particularly itchy. I examined myself with a q-tip and it looks like the skin is peeling or is dry. I have no STD's and always use latex condoms, though I recently recovered from a UTI. I was considering using Vagisil or Monostat to see if those would help,or possibly a salt bath. Any help as to what I should do and what may be wrong are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Over-the-counter or prescribed anti-fungal creams for yeasst infections are available. Yogurt probably does not help.

Hello I'm 18 as well:) I have also had the same problem as u dry itchy vagina.. Also had lil bumbs u could nearly see them tho n it hurt n itch a lil swollen I used vagisil cream it helped me :) I came to the conclusion it was a yeast infection nothing major alot of worm get this even if they healthy from there.. u sometime get that for using pesky soap bars to clean down there n turns into a infection then the humid makes  is that way.. U can try to put yogurt down down non flavor that will help since yogurt has stuff that kills bacteria:) hope that helps:)9

I also have experienced vaginal itch years ago. it was even worst than yours because it had some yellowish discharge which was really annoying. I found out it was a yeast infection. I used vaginal cream to treat that but you should see your doctor first before trying any of those over the counter creams just to be safe.
