my friend told me to ask this question for females only?

Question:

she is wondering why her vagina is always so itchy? She also said around her bum crack it is very itchy too, she said it is not in the vagina that itches it is around the hairline close to her clit where it itches, can anyone tell me what this can be, so she can get off my back? Thank you.

Answers:
It sounds like a yeast infection. My suggestion is the natural way, eat yogurt and take acidolpholis. Any health store can help her find the kind that is right for her. Also limiting sugar and bread intake helps. Yeasts love sugar and breads help make these types of infections grow.
Also it might be the soap she is using, try a feminine wash, Massingal makes one that is quite pleasant. Washing her panties on the gentle cycle with 1 cup of white vinegar added helps kill yeast left on the crotch area of the panties. Wash panties in hot water then when dry, Iron on the cotton setting over the crotch area will help kill any remaining bacteria.
I had to switch detergents to Baby All and Ivory Snow. They are more expensive but I found it made me itch no more. I've also found the health stores carry a great variety of natural based detergents that work quite well. And its better for the environment since it doesn't have any petroleum in it.

Try to limit douching, douching can make the probelm worse.
Taking a white vinegar bath can help instead.
Stay FAR AWAY from nylon panties, they only aggrevate the probelm. If she wears thongs, they do make cotton ones.

Also drinking water throughout the day rather than soda or tea will help a lot too.

If push comes to shove, get a urine test to rule out yeast in the bladder of the kidneys.If she does have this probelm, her doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to rid the probelm. If that doesn't help, and I know from personal experience, Triple Sulfa Cream inserted into the vagina is the best way to cure the probelm.

Stay away from powder because it has a direct link to Cervical Cancer later on in life. A little cornstarch patted onto the problem can help if she sweats.

There are OTC meds for this. If they don't work, I'd see a doctor.

tell her to use vaginal itch cream they have it in every store. and to use wipes after the bathroom. they have female wipes in the same isle of the stores as the itch cream. and to get checked for hemorrhoids. yes even people without kids can have hemorrhoids.

well for her crotch itching.. sometimes everyone gets that. that's why there is cream over the counter. so we do not have to run to the doctor all the time when we get a itch.

And her butt might be itching like that because 1 she is not wiping it right after going to the bathroom. or hemorrhoids..

Get different toilet paper.. and then use a wipe after that.. and if that is not helping them get preparation H wipes.

Problem solved.. now tell her to bug you about something else.

Just keep clean your vagina to get rid of itchy. It could be a few different things, a yeast infection is a common cause of vaginal itching. She should see her doctor.

yes haemmoroids can cause itching, shaving hair can cause itching and pimples! She might have a sensitive skin, it may be the soap she is using! It may be because of lack of hygiene, she sweat and does not wash herself as soon as she sweat. she can do baby powder to reduce the symptoms.
