Vulva Itchiness

2017-09-12 18:40:05
I was diagnosed with PCOS more than 2 months ago. I am currently taking pills to help my period to be on a regular basis. Recently, on my 2 months of taking pills (I am taking Althea pills by the way), I experienced vulva itching(outside of my vagina, i think). I am scared beacuse I can't help to scratch it. I worried about the long term effect on me. I just want to know what causes it? And what home remedies I can do to lessen the itchiness?
