labia minora - itching, swelling, and skin peeling

I have an insanely embarrassing question. I've looked at other posts on here but nothing really looks like what I have. I'm embarrassed to tell anyone, and I need some advice on what it might be and such.

So I'm 17 and I do have sex. But I have for about a year so I don't really think this has anything to do with it. My groin, especially around my labia minora has been itching pretty badly. It will swell if I itch it, but that's the only time. It is very sensitive to touch, and it hurts a little bit. The skin is very dry and peeling in some areas on my labia minora. I'm not sure what this is and I'm embarrassed to tell my parents, which would be the only way to get an doctors appointment.

It sounds like yeast infection. You better see agynecologist for a proper dioagnosis and appropriate treatment. Yeast overgrowth is not considered an STD but needs treatment anyway as it may lead to bacterial vaginosis and even worse symptoms.

Hey there buddy, Join the boat I've ended up two times with your symptoms and let me tell you, its the most painful feeling in the world. I ended up getting my yeast infection from taking Aleve. Every time I take Aleve I get a yeast infection. I know it sounds crazy but I've tested every single time. Seems like I am allergic to it. Either way avoid aleve unless you want another episode, or you can test that theory out when you get better. I got rid of my yeast infection super fast by applying a antifungal foot spray. It took away the itch and burning and also the yeast infection. Almost within hours. I got relief in minutes. I must caution you though. When you spray the product on your penis. Pray for the lord o'lmighty cause the pain will be as if hell had no fury. After the pain is gone and you didn't faint. You'll start seeing results immediately. Hope this is enough info to help

You could ask your doctor about Timodine topical cream which is a strong anti-fungal and corticosteroid as well as being antiseptic. It cured my itching within a few days. I had originally tried good old Canestan and then later hydrocortisone cream but neither of them had any effect at all. The itching continued and drove me mad. Timodine worked within about 4 days - to be applied 2 or 3 times a day. Not sure if it can be bought online without a prescription. It is safe to use in the genital and anal areas.
