What Causes Itching Sensation In The Vaginal Area?

My entire vaginal area feels really uncomfortable. Itchy, raw and with watery colored discharge(4 days). It feels very irritated and almost like a burning sensation(day 1). I am sexually active and just got tested, and everything came back negative. Yet, is it possible to be allergic to latex condoms? If so can there be a possibility of the reaction taking place days after the sexual encounter? Or is this more like a BV situation, because I have had it before, but the pain was not this sudden or intense.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you are encountering an allergic reaction to condoms then this can be relieved by an antihistaminic as Citrizine once daily before going to bed. However this could also be due to a fungal infection that can be treated by application of an anti-fungal containing Nystatin three times daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
