Itchy vulva?
So 3 days ago I wore a menstrual pad made out of synthetic materials as I didnt have any cloth pads at the time(usually what I wear).And when I woke up I had itchyness on my vulva and near my anus.Theres also a couple small bumps.I'm not sure if the pad gave me a yeast infection because the itches is only on the outside and if its only irritation I don't know how to treat it or what to do.I don't have health insurance and I don't want to do a yeast infection treatment unless I'm sure that I have one to avoid throwing my pH off.Does anyone have experience with this?Help?

I'm not sure if it's related to the synthetic pad, but if it is, it might be an allergic reaction or something of the sort. There are other things that could have been the cause, though. If you shaved/ trimmed pubic hair recently, there's a really good chance you actually just irritated your skin. You may have a yeast infection, but it isn't the only thing it could be.

Treat it like a yeast infection - over-the-counter yeast infection cream - it could be irritation from the wetness of the pad, chemicals in the pad, or a yeast infection thanks to the pad...whatever it is a yeast infection cream will help to ease the irritation until it clears up, yeast infection cream won't throw off pH.
