Vaginal irritation -question
Hi Doctor,
For a while now I have been experiencing some discharge and irritation on my vulva/anal area. It is just on the outside and it's just slightly irritated with a clear/thickick discharge from vagina. I dont even feel it all the time just sometimes and it's definitely not horrible...just a little irritating. I feel like when I feel the irritation on my vulva I also feel my anus itching/irritated as well. I just went to the gyn and was diagnosed with HPV high-risk and had a colposcopy done and awaiting the results of that. I asked my gyn while I was there about possible infections and he said that I didnt have any vaginal infection (such as yeast, bv, etc). He did give me this cream which seemed to help for a while but now I feel irritated again. My question for you is do you think this is related to the HPV infection OR do you think it could be some type of non-infectious vaginitis? I do wear thongs, do shave my vaginal area with shave gel, and I am on birth control bills (ortho-try cyclen lo). I do not ****** or use soap down there because I was told it was a bad thing to do. What would you suggest? Thanks very much.

This does not sound in any way HPV-related. Also, this sort of irritation is rarely if ever related to detergents. Thongs ans shaving may aggravate it. If your gynecologist doesn't see yeast, it's probably mild dermatitis (non-infectious.) Trey over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream plus moisturizer. If that doesn't clear things up in 2 week,s a visit to a skin doctor would make sense.
Take care.

Doctor- sorry one more thing. I was also wondering if it could be some type of reaction from the detergent that I use. I'm not sure if this would cause discharge? Thanks.
