What Causes Itchiness And Pain In The Labia Majora?

My labia minora hurt to the touch but they itch. I haven t been doing anything new, but I used a scented babywipe on that area for the first time and a little while later it started burning and itching. I took a shower but it still proceeded. This is day number two and it hasn t gotten any better. HELP. I really don t want to go to a physician because I m very uncomfortable with that type of thing. Is there anything I can do to make the pain go away?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal (yeast) infection. Using anti fungal ointments or creams like miconazole or clotrimazole for local application will be helpful for this. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area. You can use just warm water. using intimate wash daily is also good.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
