Itching in genital area
I've tried to google my 'symptoms' but I don't find something relevant so I'll ask myself.
My genital area has been itching since about last wednesday, but it went away the next day when I took a shower. And now it hasn't stopped since Sunday. I am sexually active and we do protect ourselves with condoms. This hasn't happened before, and the itching really started after the sex. I wondered if it could be an allergic reaction to the condom, since we used new ones (trojan charged). I also thought that it could be do to shaving, but it itches around the labia and since yesterday more specifically the clitoris. I checked myself to make sure there weren't any bumps or anything and I didn't see anything 'weird'. It's just red (which I imagine comes from my scratching).
There is this white stuff though (which is what got me even more worried) but it's weird. It's not discharge or mucous-y. It's like a white waxy layer on the clitoris and under the hood of the clitoris, it almost looks like a thin layer of skin.
Please help. I've just wonder if it could be a yeast infection or something more to worry about. My vaginal area doesn't itch, it's just around the clitoris area.

Hi,
This could be yeast infection. White flaky discharge and itching are highly suggestive. A smear form the region of the clitoris will help make the diagnosis. Timely treatment is necessary lest the problem becomes chronic. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.
