Irritation of the vulva and labia minora is a frequent problem of intimate hygiene. There are many possible causes. These causes are usually benign, but the discomfort they cause calls for prompt treatment.

Main causes of intimate irritation

The most frequent causes of lip irritation are mycoses, eczema and vaginal dryness. Mycoses are often due to an imbalance in vaginal flora and pH. They cause very red irritation in the labia, with a burning, itching sensation that's very uncomfortable.

Foaming, whitish discharge often accompanies these symptoms. Eczema is due to skin intolerance to certain underwear materials or intimate protection products. In these cases, itching is very severe. Vaginal dryness is due to a hormonal disorder, often age-related, and causes discomfort in the labia.

In the event of intimate irritation, whether due to mycosis or not, you should not hesitate to consult a doctor for appropriate treatment.
