[37F] Persistent vulvar itchiness without visible lesions

What might be happening

Based on the information provided, the following conditions could be causing the itchiness on your vulva:

• Vulvar Dermatitis: This is a common condition caused by irritation or an allergic reaction to something that has come into contact with your vulva. The irritation can cause itching and discoloration.

  • Treatment typically involves identifying and avoiding the irritant, and using topical creams to relieve the symptoms.

• Lichen Sclerosus: This is a rare skin condition that typically affects the genital and anal areas. It can cause itching, discomfort, and changes in skin color.

  • Treatment typically involves the use of strong topical steroids.

• Yeast Infection: This is a common fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, and a thick, white discharge. However, you did not mention having a discharge.

  • Treatment typically involves antifungal medication.

• Vulvar Cancer: While rare, vulvar cancer can cause itching and changes in skin color. However, you did not mention having a lump or growth, which is a common symptom of vulvar cancer.

  • Treatment typically involves surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and other conditions could also be causing your symptoms.

What you can do

• Continue using the coconut oil and Vagicaine if they are providing relief.
• Avoid scratching the area as much as possible, as this can further irritate the skin.
• Wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothing to reduce irritation.
• Avoid using scented soaps, lotions, or other products on the area.

What you should look out for

• If the itching becomes severe or unbearable
• If you notice a lump or growth on your vulva
