Isn't the vagina a "self-cleaning oven"?
While the vagina (internal) is self-cleaning, the vulva (the external vaginal area) is not. Gentle cleansing of the vulva with a pH-balanced wash like Vagisil® is important for removing common materials like vaginal discharge, urine, and faeces that can accumulate and cause odour and irritation. These materials are not readily removed with water alone, and vulvar skin benefits from gentle cleansing with a pH-balanced wash.
Why do I have vulvar itching?
All sorts of things can cause itch. Everyday things like detergents, pads and liners, pubic area hair removal, friction, sweat, tight clothing, and hormonal changes can cause itching. Intense itching is often a symptom of a yeast infection or other common vulvovaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) or Trichomoniasis. If you think an infection may be causing itching, speak with your healthcare professional for proper treatment of the underlying infection. Vagisil® creams and wipes can help stop the itching instantly, so you feel relief as you get treatment for the infection.
What can I do if I'm experiencing external (vulvar) itching?
Vagisil® Medicated Creme is a safe and effective treatment to relieve external vulvar itching due to common things like shaving, perspiration, menstruation, yeast infections, etc.
