What Causes Irritation In The Vulva Area?

I am 45, I am 5'6" I weigh 160. I have some irritation in the vulva area. I do not have sex, I am divorced. I have sort of chapped skin there and there are tiny slits, like paper cuts, mixed in. It hurts initially when iI shower or anything like that. What is it, and how do I treat it?

Hi,
You might be approaching menopause and hence due to hormonal changes, you might be experiencing dryness and itchy sensations on vulva.
Keep the area in good hygiene. Use moisturizers to prevent dryness. It should be alright soon.
