Itchy and burning vulva, close to clitoris, left side, no discharge?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've had an itchy and burning vulva for at least a couple of weeks now. The itch went away for a day but then I masturbated and it came back. It's bearable, but even so it's highly annoying. I've been checking myself down there--vulva looks red but not so red, no discharge, no strange lesions except for two VERY small white lumps that look like minuscule whiteheads, but one has been there for a long time. No odor. I haven't had sex recently so no STI (unless I got them from sitting at a bathroom) and no pain when urinating (actually urinating helps relieve the itch). Gyn says it's irritation, gave me nappy rash cream, but I'm, you know, willing to listen to any advice. It's hot here (like, hot weather), I haven't shaved (could my own pubic hair be irritating me?) and I'm cutting down on the use of soap. I haven't gone to GYN because I have been solving problems with ovarian cysts with him and am also working with therapy for anxiety (could that be a cause too?) and therapy for a pain in my lower back. I'm willing to listen to opinions before GYN. Help?

Not really, only left side and it's more like burning.

Could be Lichen Sclerosus or Vulval intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)

Update: it moved to the left side and it feels like there is some sort of eczema skin on that side. Problem is I can't see a thing.
