Can you advise me on what to do about itchy vulva?

Question

Hello, since a few days I have the vulva which itches (or there is hair) and I wonder what it can be? The shaving or an infection? Can you advise me to stop this itching I don't have any unusual shedding and yes it has happened to me in the past but it would go away on its own I would say about 3 days I was wondering if it had anything to do with shaving because in the past it didn't itch when I shaved

Good morning, ma'am, How many days have you noticed this? Do you have any other symptoms such as discharge? If so, could you describe them? Have you had these same symptoms in the past? Are you currently taking any other medications? Thank you for your time! Thanks for the information! Yes, shaving can cause this kind of irritation. It is recommended to use a new blade, to avoid shaving against the direction of the hair and to go over the same area often with the blade. Also, it is suggested to apply a moisturizing cream without perfume such as Aveeno or Glaxal Base, and to avoid soaps on this area, clear water is sufficient. If the situation persists or worsens, a doctor should be consulted so as not to delay treatment. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
