Rashes and scratches on your vulva are usually from irritation, a yeast infection, or contact with soap, sanitary products, or tight synthetic underwear. Scratching itself can also make the skin more irritated and prone to a secondary infection.
Next Steps
Switch to loose cotton underwear, avoid scented soaps, wipes or sprays there, and keep the area dry. Please see a gynaecologist in person before using any cream, since the right one depends on the actual cause.
Health Tips
Go back sooner if it gets more painful, swollen, or you notice discharge, blisters or an odour.
