Question : I have itchiness in my sensitive area down there. How can I reduce it? And Does masterbation darken the labia minor or make it loose and less tight?
My senstive area smells fishy too..

Brief Answer:
precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your problem.
Masturbation can cause loose and opened up labia minora a little but cannot darken the same at all.
Regarding itchiness and smell I would like to know if you have any kind of vaginal discharge along with it or not.
If no discharge is there then just keep the area clean and dry and wear cotton based undergarments.
Waiting for your response.
Regards
Dr Manisha.

White thick discharge.It gets extremely itchy sometimes.. I shave very often and wash the area with water and dry it with towel papers after the use of washroom..

Brief Answer:
treatment advised

Detailed Answer:
In such cases, I would treat you with clingen plus vaginal pessary 200 mg for three days and candid B ointment on the affected area twice a day for 7 days. Your local doctor will know about this.

And in case discharge or itch persists then visit a gynecologist for examination.

Take care
