  • Vaginal or vulvar itching usually points to one of five causes: yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, contact irritation or allergy, sexually transmitted infection, or a skin condition
  • To calm irritation fast, stop using fragranced products and harsh soaps, avoid douching, and switch to gentle, pH-balanced care. Choose breathable cotton fabrics and avoid tight, non-ventilated clothing that traps heat and moisture
  • Focus on restoring the skin barrier and microbiome — use plain water for cleansing, natural, fragrance-free moisturizers for protection, and steady nutrition to support hormonal and metabolic balance. Relief happens faster once irritants are removed and the body's natural defenses are allowed to reset
  • Seek urgent care if severe pain, sores, fever, foul-smelling discharge, occurs. Pregnant, diabetic, or immunocompromised women also need extra care
