Right now, I don't know if this is just an irritation but I feel like I want to scream. My external genitalia feels like burning. My husband tried to look at it and its so red and a bit swollen. There's burning feeling and itch. I think this might be because I have had my monthly period for almost 2 weeks now. My husband is on his way to a drugstore right now. Is there any medicine that you can suggest so that the pain will fade? Thanks!

The most common cause for gental itching is thrush, but it's best to get this confirmed by a doctor or medical person. There are a lot of anti-itching creams which may provide temporary relief, but if it persists, see a doctor.
