If you've had yeast infections before, and you think this isn't one...
Have you used toilet paper with lotion in it recently (say, at a friend's house), and do you have any topical allergies to things commonly found in lotions?
I'm glad it hasn't happened to me there yet (have had it on the nose - yay tissues), but it has happened to my cousin whose allergy is worse.
(Aloe, if anyone's wondering. Why it's in some toilet paper I have no idea.)
If it is that, then an antihistamine (diphenhydramine Benadryl) is your best bet, and a non-irritating, non-oil-based moisturizing cream (I like cetaphyl, personally).
