How To Overcome The Scratching On My Vagina?
Hi,
Im addicted to scratching my vagina. Its been over 2 years..I did go get checked and they said it was a skin irriation. I think im the only one in the world who has this..When I start scratching I cannot stop. Then when I do, it burns, I cant pee..I feel like this has slowed me down by not going out, depression etc. I really need help :(

Hi there thanks for posting your query at HCM
Dear since you have sctratching your vagina for the past one year , I feel that you have some sort of dermatitis or you are not keeping the genital region clean . or the material of the lingerie material is not suiting and above all if you are sexually active , you and your partner must get their urine culture done which i the cause of burning sensation during peeing . And your gynecologist will provide you with the antibiotic cover , some tubes for local application on the vagina and Sitz bath which definitely cure all the itching . But please do go the doctor and don't lie there depressed . I t is a common problem with many females
Smile and move on in your life.
Take care
