How to get rid ofintermittent itching on 1 side of vulva - #30349
hello, since past year I have been having redness and itching on just left side of vulva on mucus membrane. It’s the same spot every time. Tried antifungal ointment, regular vaginal wash which gentle and soothing. It keeps coming almost every month. I Don’t feel it much while in menstruation. I use witchhazel with cotton tip sometimes. Feels better for sometime. How to cure this inflammation? Thanks for your help🙏🏻

Doctors’ responses
First of all seek a person consultation of doctor. Stop vaginal washes/soaps/witch hazel – even “gentle” ones can disrupt the natural flora or irritate mucosa. Use only plain water.
Cotton breathable underwear; avoid liners/pads unless menstruating.
Moisturize barrier – apply pure coconut oil or a thin layer of plain, fragrance-free emollient (like Vaseline) after washing, to protect skin and reduce itching.
Avoid scratching/rubbing – it worsens irritation.
Track flares – notice if they correlate with cycle phase, specific foods, new laundry detergents, sexual activity, or stress.
Triphala churna for vaginal wash is good- Boil 1 tsp Triphala powder in 2 cups water for 5–7 minutes.
Let it cool until lukewarm, strain, and sit in it for 10–15 min.
Do this 2–3 times a week. Triphala reduces infection, itching, and inflammation. Apply coconut oil at the vulvar area.
Use triphala choornam for vaginal wash.
Take triphala choornam 1 tsp and boil it in 400 ml of water and let it cool naturally
