Vaginal itching can be caused by a variety of things. Changes in detergents, soaps, fabric of panties, and perfumes can cause vaginal irritations. As you probably know, vaginal itching can also be caused by a sexually transmitted disease . My biggest concern right now is if you are still experiencing itching or if you continue to have an active tear on your vulva that is open or bleeding. This would most likely indicate that you had some kind of active irritation going on and that you should be seen by a medical professional as soon as possible.
Most people are fearful of discussing problems related to their genitals.
The good news is that most professionals dealing with women's health are used to dealing with worried patients. Women are not taught how to ask questions about their body and oftentimes are not even sure about what their vaginas look like. A good way to prepare for a medical visit is by making a list of your questions about your vulva. This way, you have the information in front of you and you can simply read it to a professional or hand the paper over to them. Find a local gynecologist.
