Suggest Remedy For Itching And Pain In Labia Majora

Hello, yesterday after having a shower I noticed that there was an area on my vulva that was painful/itchy when irritated. There seems to be a small red circle on the outside of my labia majora (not actually on the flap), very low towards the gap between the vagina and anus. I am not sexually active (intercorse) but I have had oral sex performed on me. This is the first time this has happened, and I m not sure what it could be.

Hello,

It is most likely due to a fungal infection caused by a fungus but it could be due to STD infection as well. Get your STD panel for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Richa Agarwal, OBGYN
