Vaginal Outer Area Itching & Irritation
Hello Doctor, I have a lot of itching in the outer vaginal area, especially at night. I also have small bumps there, along with some irritation. Washing with water does not completely relieve the itching. Because of the itching, I am unable to sleep properly throughout the night. Please advise me on what treatment or cream I should use.

Itching with small bumps in that area is usually from a skin or fungal irritation, but it needs an in-person look to know for sure. Night-time itching that disturbs your sleep is a good reason not to wait this out.
Next Steps
Please see a gynaecologist for an examination rather than picking a cream on your own, since the right treatment depends on what's actually causing it.
