I have a dry and itchy labia minora, what's wrong and what can I do?

No burning or anything, just an itchy Labia and it's been that way for a little over a month. I stopped using irritants such as soap down there and just use water to clean it, but nothing has changed. What can I do? I don't wanna go to the doctor's...

Dry and itchy labia minora can be caused by multiple factors:

MOST LIKELY

- allergic reaction or contact dermatitis

- fungal infection

- viral infection (molluscum contagiosum, HSV, CMV)

- seborrheic dermatitis or "vaginal dandruff"

- sugar and non-sugar diabetes

LEAST LIKELY

- generalized skin condition (psoriasis)

- parasite (scabies, lice)

- vaginal dystrophy ( vitamin A, B2, B12, iron and folic-acid deficiencies)

- Lichen sclerosis (unknown etiology) - typical for postmenopausal women, not to you (you're still 18)

- psychological factors.

In such a complex etiology, a professional exam would be the best choice. From your side, try taking group-B vitamins (for two weeks only) and stop masturbating (if you did it before).
The best solution really would be to see a doctor, but you could try an over the counter antimycotic like Monistat or Nystatin first , as it is possible this is a yeast infection.
