Ever since I can remember, I have had some kind of itching around the outer skin of my labia. I would treat it with hydrocortisone and it would be fine for a while and then start again.
Lately, well over the last 4-5 years I seem to be itchy most of the time and have tried several creams which calm it initially but it comes back more frequently. At a recent gyne examination my GP noticed I was red and said it looked like eczema, and gave me a hydrocortisone cream. It keeps flaring up more regularly and yesterday, at a visit to a women’s physio, she also commented that I looked red and sore ( I am not sore just itchy).
Should I be worried that this could be something more sinister? Or is it likely to be just eczema, seeing as I have had this most of my adult life, just not so bad. I keep reading about Lichen Sclerosis and vulval cancer although I don’t seem to have any other symptoms other than itching.
Any advice?
