Hello doctor,
For the past few days, my vagina has been itchy and sorta red. Then it started to form bumps today and now it is all red swollen and itchy. And it burns when I scratch it. It is driving me crazy. Do you know what it could be?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Sounds like a fungal Infection. Have you recently had sex? If you have, you need to see a gynecologist and get examined to come to a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If you have not had sex, you could try Nystatin vaginal cream. Apply it twice daily with a clean finger inside and outside for 7 to 10 days. If you do not get relief from this, you need to see someone to get a vaginal swab to find out the type of infection you have.
