My vulva is itching since 2 days, What can I do?

My clitoris and inner and outer surrounding area has been itching crazily since past 2 days. The itch started with my periods. I have never experienced such a thing before. Also, had trimmed down there just the night before.
Please suggest something urgently.

Hi there.  Some women do get itching from shaving in the pubic area.  The nerve endings go a little crazy then.  However, you are describing your whole area that wouldn't be involved in that.  do you have any discharge?  Could this be a yeast infection?

It could potentially be irritation from trimming. I would suggest you have a shower, don't use soap or anything just warm water. Apply some non-scented lotion to the area - avoiding the entrance to your vagina. Then let things "air" out for a bit.

It is winter and the air is dry. That affects all parts of our body include out labia minora. If that doesn't work, I suggest seeing a doctor.
