After shaving I got folliculities on major labia, It is there for a while. I want to get rid of since it is sometimes itchy. I ask my gynecologist to help me with this condition and he refuses said it is nothing serious. I used to have a yeast infection, it is there any connection? How can I treat this? Since all home remedy, I tried do not help.
