What Causes Itching In Labia And Redness Outside Vulva?
I had an itchy abia for a day or two, I tried not to itch and make it worse but it s gradually become sore and red. Looking today, the skin outside my vulva (near peritoneum) has become red, dry, and the skin is weeping a little.. The labia is still itchy. I haven t had a sexual partner for six months and never experienced anything like this before. Please help!

Hello,
The symptoms are more consistent with infective causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Consult a gynaecologist and plan for a vaginal swab to confirm the diagnosis.
As of now you can use clotrimazole lotion to cleanse your genitals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
