What Causes Itching Of The Vulva And Swelling Of The Clitoris?

Hello! I am a female who has been experiencing vulva itching for about a week. Three days ago I bought some cream and suppositories for a yeast infection and those didn't help at all. Now my clitoris is swollen and very sensitive with a very small amount of blood coming from it. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your description, it appears that itching of vulva and swelling of clitoris could be caused due to inflammation of the skin and its underneath structures.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Hydrocoritsone cream over the region.
3. Take Tablet.Loratidine once a day to overcome allergic reaction and itching.
4. Use vaginal pH balancing solution like 'v wash' regularly.
5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation.
6. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. Your symptoms should subside gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
