What Causes Irritation And Itchiness In Clitoris?
Hi, I know that my clitor is has been really irritated the past day or so, its been really irritated and itchy I have no idea why its really scaring me I googled what causes this and they were saying I could be allergic to lube on condoms or soap, or Have a yeast infection yesterday when I showered I washed my vagina but when I shave I use conditioner to soften the hairs and it got on my vagina so im thinking im having an allergic reaction from the conditioner I used to shave my bikini line, I dont think im allergic to the lube, me and my boyfriend had sex later that day but he always uses the same brand of condoms and this has never happened

Dear Madam,
Shaving hairs in the genital region promotes the growth of candida infections, commonly called as yeast infection. i suggest you to speak with a specialist for further management of symptoms.
