You might have a yeast infection. You should go get it checked out.

First suspect with itch is Yeast Infection, yes. I'd head over to http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Yeast_Infection for some suggestions on how to cope with it. If none of those work, or if you have a bad smell to go along with it, it might be BV.

If this is your first attack of a probable YI, it's recommended that you go to a doctor to confirm it, so that you aren't mis-treating something else.

Good luck!

It sounds like a yeast infection or BV to me also. I would go to the doctor to confirm it.

I wanted to say that Dermoplast spray (http://www.dermoplast.com/) is good for helping relieve the discomfort. The hospital gave me the kind in the blue can when I was discharged from the hospital after having my son and again after I had my daughter. They said it would help with the burning and the itching when my episiotomy began to heal. It was also given to me by my gyno when I had BV to help with the irritation I had from the itching (I was raw & bleeding). It's not for internal use and it won't cure it but it does relieve the itching and burning for a little while.

Oh, and also, adding a little bit of baking soda to a bath helps also. Just be careful because if you're easily irritated down there you don't want to make things worse. Baking soda was always recommended by my gyno but everyone is different.

The wipes have stuff in them that could be irritating it more over time.

It could also be dry skin. In winter I use a little baby oil to help with that.

it is probably a yeast infection. you can always try either yogurt or a garlic clove to treat yourself. if what you have isnt a YI youre not going to hurt anything by trying to treat it as a YI.
