Thank you for your help, Dr. Santos! I think I'm going to call my gyn and make an appointment. I appreciate your help!
Hi,
Common causes of vaginal itching include: chemical irritants ( such as detergents, fabric softeners, feminine sprays, ointments, creams, douches, and contraceptive foams or jellies); hormonal; stress, vaginal yeast infection, or vaginitis. It may help to avoid overexertion, heat, and excessive sweating and avoid scratching, which will only aggravate the problem.
There are many causes of itching without any particular rash. Dry skin, aging, contact irritants, reaction to medications, parasites, superficial skin infections such as folliculitis and impetigo and diseases such as pityriasis rosea, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
Although this is likely due to hormonal imbalance, it would be best to see your doctor or have a referral to your gynecologist for further evaluation and to rule out other causes. Take care and keep us posted.
