Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Itching In The Clitoris

Hello, I have a sore clitoris, it stings a little when I go to the toilet and is a little itchi. I went to the doctors and she noticed an ulcer next to the hood. She took swabs and they came back clear. Then I went for a smear and the nurse checked me out she said there was nothing to see now, but I still have the same irritation, it s been a month now and it still stings when having sex so I have stopped. I m 43 and I have started to go trough the menopause I take HRT. The doctor has pescribed a cream in case I m dry but the nurse said that she didn t think that would work as you don t put it on the clitoris. Any advise would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Since you are on HRT, there could be a possibility of having yeast infection in the genital area causing itching and soreness of your clitoris.
Kindly do the following to overcome this.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the area as a thin layer.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to overcome itching.
4. Apply anti-fungal cream containing Clotrimazole twice daily.
5. Apply moisturizer cream around the area at bedtime.
6. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction and provide proper ventilation.
Take care of your personal hygiene. Gradually, your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
