I have been getting extremely itchy and irritated on and around my vagina around when my period is going to start. Its not a yeast infection though. I do know that much. But now I have a painful buring sensation when I pee and it hurts when I wipe. It feels almost like there are small cuts on the lips. Does anybody know anyway to get rid of the cuts and irritation. I have tried topical antibiotics and anti-itch cream but nothing is helping much. I have also tried eating yogurt to help. But nothing is working. Thanks.

How do you know it's not yeast? I have gotten the very same thing. Including the feeling like I have cuts. It sure is uncomfortable! In my case, it is yeast. I have a history of it. And, the itching and irritation usually goes away after my period. Does yours go away?
Have you been checked out by a doctor? If not, then try to make an appointment so it coincides with your symptoms.

Thanks

So if this is yeast, what else should I be doing besides eating yogurt to help this problem?
Try taking either about a week before your period and until it's over.
Both supplements are widely available.
I hope it helps!

Good luck to you!
