Every once in awhile (a few times each
year), I have clitoral itching that's just
unbearable for about a week. The clitoris
is always erect during these times (though
i'm not sexually aroused) and it burns
when touched directly. I've tried using
anti-itch creams but nothing works! It
seems I just have to wait until it goes
away on its own. Which is really
inconvenient when trying to sleep at
nite...
I know that it's not an std (i've been
tested multiple times) and I don't have
any vaginal discharge. So i'm at a loss
at what to do.
Any help would be great!

I totaly empathize. I too have
experienced that discomfor b/f and don't
know the cause. I do know that when it
gets really bad I take a sitz bath and
springle baking soda on the area and it
helps cool it, if only for a little bit.

Female Priapism Posted: 07-10-05 12:15pm
In males they can get painful long-lasting
erections termed priapism, it's caused by
certain drugs or other conditions, you
might want to research this for
yourself...
Trazodone is one such drug

One Idea Posted: 07-25-05 23:26pm
I have the same problem due to the
medicine i'm taking. The only thing I
found that helps is to spray bactine on
the itchy area. After that the symptoms
go away. One thing i've noticed is that
if I wash with a particularly fragrant
cleanser, the itching intensifies, so I
have to make sure I rinse well or use the
cleanser sparingly. Since using the
bactine has solved the problem for me I
haven't found the need to purchase a
separate or special non-fragrant cleanser
for that area.

I don't believe I have ever had that
problem, but I would think a hot bath
might help, try takin a bubble bath.

Excuseeeeeee me chaosbob,
as you know my vagina is very clean. It's
just that this few days I got this new
experience and don't know what's wrong ok
maybe, you should think twice before
saying stinking vagina to me. I know your
vagina ish stinky too cuz we all are women
you know. Probably yours more stinky than
mine, but let just say, you do have this
kinda of problem too, I suppose.
Excuse my bad language but you reply not
in a good manner to me.
So think, before you reply ok health
forum
ha ha ha !!!

Chaosbob is always starting problems,
ignore him-he only does it for attention.
I have the problem too ladies and I use
yeast infection cream. The external cream
not the internal medicine. Its not a
yeast infection but sometimes it seems to
work. I also try a&d ointment the
stuff that looks like vasoline and that
helps if you scratch it. What I find best
that works is putting ky jelly on it.
Keeping it moist tends to keep it from
getting dry and itchy. These creams may
work for only a little while, but 5
minutes of ease is better than none. I am
glad to know that it isn't just me, it
really seems like the majority of women
get this irration.

I think when you have this problem, go to
your doctor. She/he can give you the
right cream for yeast infection or
whatever the cause.

Chaos bob usually I think you are funny,
but you are starting to really cross the
line dude.
Anyway, could it possibly be yeast that is
bothering you gals?

I am 4 months pregnant (YAY!) and I have
been experiencing the same uncomfortable
itching! I think it may be a result of
frequent baths or antibiotics. I have been
able to look at myself and there is no
sign of rash or bumps or anything of that
sort. But I can say taking bubble baths is
not the right thing to do! Many soaps and
scented bubble baths can cause irritation
and even infections. I havent tried it yet
but I've been told desitin (diaper rash
cream) can help with the irritation. Ill
let you all know if it helps. And a note
to Chaosbob, in no way is it appropriate
to comment so crudely in relation to this
topic. Many women feel embarrassed and
uncomfortable talking about this issue as
it is without your disgusting remarks.
People (especially men) like you have no
place in this discussion. I suggest you
take your sick ideas and comments
elseware, find another outlet other than
hurtful, poorly worded and ignorant
suggestions to get off on. Pervert. Sorry
ladies, sometimes when men dont get laid
in a few years they resort to...well
Chaosbob.

clitoral itching Posted: 01-16-08 12:22pm
I've had the same issue for about the past
6-8 months, sometimes being a bit more
bearable than others, but never really
going away...I've taken diflucan,
prescripted and over-the-counter
micozanole...nothing worked! Finally, i
mixed about quarter cup of white vinegar
with about a cup and a half of warm water
n use that as an external genital rinse
after showering. It burned a little the
first time, but the itching has subsided
since. It's been almost a week since
starting the 'rinse' and even libido is
back in full swing due to no more itch!
And since it's not internal, douching
isn't necessary, nor reccommended...It's
worth a shot, hope it helps!!

I went to the doctor today..... Posted: 06-23-08 22:18pm
Well I have had this same problem for a
while now, and was tested at one point for
yeast or bacterial infections and nothing
came up. This itching comes and goes. Of
course when I went to the doctor today it
had cleared up from last weeks episode.
BTW the way I got it to clear up is by
using hydrocordisone cream 1%, as one
forum member [a doctor, or so he said]
mentioned. Well, anyway my doctor thought
that maybe I had Lichen Sclerosis, and
most of the symptoms fit, although it
would be an early stage for me. He wants
me to see a special dermotologist for it.
But, Google the name of this disease and
check it out for yourselves. It doesn't
sound great, but it is nice to see a
diagnosis for once. Good luck ladies.

mines horrible! Posted: 07-10-08 10:05am
ive never herd of this before and i
totally would go to my doctor except the
fact he is incredibly GORGEOUS! but
married. so even though hes my primary
care physician he still does gynocological
exams i refuse to go to him. and i live in
maine so theres only one planned parent
hood around here and its open twice a week
and i can never get past the pregnant 13
year olds to get an exam. soooo my point
is....
i need help!
im soo glad others have this problem! i
though it was going to die, ive never had
a yeast infection but this definetly isnt
it!
NOTHING WAS WORKING!
but i took a benedryl ... my sister said
it works for every itch on the planet and
it will make everything stop itching even
if its dry skin... who knew???
ok so i guess try benedryl if you hate
creams as much as me
