Private parts itch
Hi,
The outer area of my vagina is itching over last 4 days. It itches a lot if I start rubbing it but if I ignore it and don't pay attention it's fine. I looked up online as to which ointment I can use. So I have been applying small amounts of Soframycin and it gets very short temporary relief.
There was no burning sensation when I peed but now since I rub it, it does slightly sting.
Please suggest what can I do.
