swollen and bruised vagina lips + intense itching at night i

Umm i jut had a urinary track infection n its over but now i am itching all over my vagina area i put vaseline on the inside but my lips r ithing like crazy an im a vergin so its not from sex but wat can i do 2 help becuze im freaking out n its itching rigt now

Ok so this is a relief in a way to see that this is more common than I thought. I have many issues back and down there too and yes it's that annoying itch in my anus and perineum. You try to fight the itch but just cant and then you scratch and dig until it doesn't itch anymore because now it burns. :( I've had this now for 5 mo straight. I have a history of yeast but this is ridiculous! I've tried Diflucan, Monistat, every cream and ointment out there. What's strange and interesting is that tge instant I start my period those awful symptoms go away. When period is done, they come back. Hmm, could hormones play a part?? I too believe diet is huge. I'm looking into an alkaline diet which is mostly veggie based. I drink lemon water too. Lemons are the strongest alkaline. Trying to heal from within instead of just addressing the symptons.

Hello,

I had many of these symptoms for years and went undiagnosed. Now I have been diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus. Check out this information and go see a dermatologist or gynecologist. Recognition of the disease as early as possible is very important to avoid permanent damage.

In fact I have been experiencing the same thing for many years. My doctor told me its ok as long as the discharge has no smell. To avoid this, you have to careful to your food: 1. Avoid sweet things, e.g. chocolate, ice-cream and fruits which are so acidic.e.g oranges, mangosteen, grapefruitetc 2. Avoid eating white bread or wheat flour 3. Avoid too much salt 4. Avoid vanegar 5. For quick solution for the itching problem, please go to pharmacy to buy a creme, namely "NIZORAL", it is very safe and apply inside and outside of your vegina without any side effect. Its very effective. Hope this can help you to solve your problem.

Ive just started having these symptoms and idk what to do, I'm scared that it might be something serious and I won't be able to have children, so is there anything I can do that will defiantly help because it's so annoying and I'm so worried

Iv had this for over a week now and i can barley sleep it hurts so bad i cant even touch it down there to check if its doing okay cause when i do its stings :( what do i do 

Please try cortisone-10.  It works.  I tried monistat, Benadryl, tea tree oil, yogurt, etc.   then I finally applied cortisone for extreme itching...it was too obvious.  It stopped after several applications.  Try it.

Wow! Im not happy to hear all of you all are going through this but im glad im not alone. I too am going crazy! This itching is unbearable. I had it about a year now, after i had my son. It just felt hot down there and the itching will not stop. I thought it was a yeast infection. Monistat didnt work. Diflucan pills worked for couple days. I do know that its a bacterial imbalance thats the cause of yeast infections so i started taking acidophilus. Im a diabetic so i know with high sugars it may cause this. Tonight i couldnt take no more so i decided to look up the cause. I heard about a SITZ BATH. I tried it tonight. Not sure how it works yet because you have to do it over and over until it goes away. But now more than ever im motivated to cut out all sugars because i love my va-j-j :(

I have had this problem for over a month. At one point I had blisters all over and in down there. After that healed the itching was still there. I found some cream called Vagicaine, by Equate and it will numb and give great relief for hours.

Vagicaine by Equate, found at Walmart

I am having burning and itching too.  Seems it is only where there is moisture (eyes, mouth, and vagina)  I just had a Steroid injection in my back and the itching is all over.  Any ideas on how to get the steroids out of my system faster?

I have all the same issues. I hate to say this and it is very embarrassing but after all kinds of medicine I had every blood test done on me. I was told I had herpes type 2. I never knew because I have never had a flare. They gave me a pill to treat it and ever since then it all went away. Not saying that I have it but could be possible.

I have this same issue as well but it occurs whenever it wants to. I do not have an STD nor a yeast infection. When I try to ignore the itch, it gets even worse & I have bruised myself from scratching. What helps to ease the itching is putting a hot rag on it. This started when 7 years ago when I had an allergic reaction to a latex, it went away & appeared just last year when my skin became dry. This is embarrassing and annoying and I dont know what to do anymore. For me the hot water and ignoring the itch is working well for now. Goodluck ladies. 

Me too, but mines just like an itch but when I touch it it kinda hurts a bit.. what cannot be?
