Yes, it can. In fact, vulva irritation is relatively common in women of all ages and can involve anything from itchiness to dryness and redness. Just like the skin on the other parts of your body, the vulva area can get dry due to a number of causes: the wrong choice in undergarment, wearing pants that are too tight, menopause or even daily wear of panty liners. Further irritation can also be caused by scented panty liners as the synthetic fragrance can cause rashes, redness and even swelling.
