The past several days my labia minora has been itchy off an on (not constantly). I see no bumps, it's not swollen, and its not red from itchiness or me scratching it. At first I was pretty freaked out, then I remembered that the guy I most recently started dating used a different brand of condoms than my ex. My ex used Trojans, I don't recall the brand that my current boyfriend is using. And the itching did start shortly after we first had sex. My best guess is that I'm allergic to something in those condoms, but what could it be?

Oh, this might not have anything to do with it, but I'll bring it up just in case: My recent period was VERY different from what it usually is. My bleeding was only heavy for one day, the rest of the time it was pretty light. And during that one day it smelled different, the blood was usually dark, and it wasn't as thick as usual. Sorry, I know that sounds awfully disgusting. I asked my mom about it (she's a nurse) and a friend of mine who's a nurse and they both said it was probably because I was under a lot of extra stress at the time. I also started taking Advil during my PMS crams because a friend told me it helped lighten the cramps. I decided to try it because I get some seriously horrible cramps. Again, I'm not sure if any of that has anything to do with my itchy labia minora, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Right now I believe its the condoms. But if the itching doesn't lighten up I'm going to suck it up and ask my mom about it. By the way, I'm nineteen. I'm not under aged and afraid of getting in trouble or anything like that. I'm just embarrassed to say anything to my mom is all.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Oh, and if anyone has any questions to ask me that will help find a solution go ahead n' ask!
