Hello, do you have other symptoms? is the irritation inside the vagina or only on the vulva? vulva? do you have discharge? If so, what is their aspect/color? do you have a particular smell? do you have a new partner? Thank you So it may be more than one thing If you have had unprotected sex, you should consider getting tested for STIs considering you have a new partner. If not, you could try treating the condition as yeast vaginitis (Fungus infection). You may want to take Clotrimazole (canesten) over the counter at 1% applied topically twice a day for 7 days. If the symptoms go away, it may well be that it was just a fungal infection. If not, try something else or consult a doctor if necessary. Normally, in 24-48 hours you should feel a difference, if not, you should reconsult. Thank you
