Vaginal Irritation
I've been having itching in my vagina for the past 3 weeks now, and it's only getting worse. Initially I thought it would go away automatically because the vagina is said to be automatically healing. However, after noticing the increased itching I searched online and started applying apple cider vinegar with cotton. It hurt like hell, but subsided the itch for an hour and then returned. After that I tried using Vaseline which helped me sleep at night, but later that stopped working too.
Then I bought VWash and have been using the same for the past 5 days but I donot see any improvement. I'm clueless about what to do further. URGENT HELP REQUIRED.
Hi. You could be having a fungal or bacterial infection. Please do not apply anything on your own. It will further worsen the irritation. Wear cotton underwear. Keep private parts dry. Drink lots of water. You may consult personally for a prescription
