I've got irritation and redness and sometimes it gets itchy but its not my clitorus its at the sides, like the lips of my vagina. What could it be?

You may have a yeast infection.  Treat this with an over the counter antifungal from the chemist.  Normally you have a discharge with thrush but sometimes you just get irritation and redness.

It may also be irritation from your underwear ie a nylon g string.  Might be worth trying 100% cotton underwear that have a large gusset (you don't have to do granny knickers).
