Suggest Remedy For Swelling Of Labia Minora

For the past month, my right labia minora has been swelling on and off. It s very sensitive and its very uncomfortable to sit or move. Also, only this past week, the entire area has been rather dry and extremely itchy. There has been more white discharge than usual as well. I m currently on my period and I ve been avoiding using tampons due to the recent discomfort I ve been experiencing. This started shortly after I got a Brazilian wax but I ve never had poor reactions to the wax in the past. It also can t be an std because I m still a virgin. How can I reduce the swelling and the discomfort? How do I get rid of the itchiness?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the wax.
I suggest using a mild steroid cream for local application.
I also suggest to maintain a good hygiene and use cotton underwear.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
