Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The swelling and itching in the clitoral area what you are having is due to inflammation of the skin, mainly due to poor hygiene. Kindly do the following to overcome it.

1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.

2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the region.

3. Take antiallergic medication Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to overcome itching.

4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and to avoid friction in the area.

5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.

Maintain good personal hygiene. Your symptoms should subside gradually.

Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
