I am 22 and my vagina is itching since 2 weeks and now its unbearable I have no idea what to do. Please help.

Question

It is a fungal infection. Better is to visit a gynaecologist and then assessment done. You can try the following for home remedies: Eat fresh curds (dahi) everyday, use only cotton underwear, after a wash or a bath etc wipe from front to back. Wiping from back to front spreads the bacteria from anus to the vulva and these harmful bacteria cause infections and itching etc. If you sweat a lot, have a bath 2 times a day for washing the vulval area, avoid using harsh soaps and use neutral ph soaps avoid using fragrant hygiene products for the vulval area or washes that are commercially available nowadays.
