Hello Sara, if you are in a doubt, whether your vaginal infection could be STD, it is better to get evaluated physically from a gynaecologist as soon as possible. What you’re mentioning could be an abscess or cyst as well, which needs to be dealt carefully. Do you have any other symptoms like fever, discharge? It will also help if you do a urinary test, just to see if you have any ongoing Urine infection, Along with that, please do your CBC, ESR, CRP, which are the blood tests , Which will reveal if there is any infection or inflammation. It is important that you wear loose cotton underwear and maintain good hygiene. In the meanwhile, start doing sitz bath every day twice in warm water, added with turmeric for 15 to 20 minutes.

The itching and recurring boils on the labia could be due to multiple factors, including irritation from undergarment material, sweat, and possible infections. It’s good that you are considering all possibilities, including a potential STD, which should be ruled out through proper testing.
In Ayurveda, recurring boils and irritation in the genital area are often linked to an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to skin inflammation and heat accumulation. Wearing non-breathable or synthetic fabrics can aggravate this, especially in a sensitive area like the labia.
To address this naturally:
Switch to cotton underwear to avoid irritation from synthetic fabrics.
Use antiseptic washes like diluted neem water or triphala decoction to cleanse the area and reduce inflammation.
Apply a soothing, cooling Ayurvedic herbal oil like Jatyadi oil or Kumkumadi oil externally to promote healing and relieve itching.
Drink Aloe Vera juice or use Gandhaka Rasayana under guidance to help purify the blood and clear internal toxins.
Since you are concerned about a potential STD, I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist for a comprehensive examination and testing to rule out any infections. Balancing Pitta with a cooling diet, avoiding spicy foods, and staying hydrated will also support your overall recovery.

Hey, sounds like you're dealing with something quite uncomfortable there. Getting boils in that area can definitely be annoyin'. First off, considering that it might be an irritation from the fabric of your underwear makes sense—try switching to cotton undies if you're not already, they let the skin breathe better.
As for ruling out STDs, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider, like honestly, they can run the necessary tests to figure out what's going on. That's probably the most sure way to know, cuz guessing won’t do you much good here. Addressing concerns about STDs early can help you manage them effectively if they're present.
In terms of Ayurvedic advice, consider incorporating turmeric into your routine. Turmeric is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Make a paste with some turmeric powder and a bit of water, apply it gently on the boil, and leave it for about 30 mins before washing it off with warm water. Do this once a day.
Also, try neem! Neem leaves are powerful in Ayurveda for their antimicrobial benefits—boil some neem leaves in water, strain the water, and use it to wash the affected area. Doing this a couple of times daily could give you relief.
Always keep the area clean and dry, Pat dry gently after a shower, don't vigorously rub. Also, it can help to avoid tight-fitting clothing that might chafe or irritate further.
However, if the boils don't go away or you notice other symptoms, do seek medical care soon. Ayurveda can help, but it's important to make sure nothing wrong is happening that needs more immediate medical attention. Hope you find some relief soon!
