Can scented toilet paper cause itching?
-
Hello, I am 18 years old female. I took all the tests BV, yeast infection, and UTI all reports were normal but I still have itching around the vaginal area. My doctor said itching around the vaginal area could be because of the scented toilet paper. Is it true? Can scented toilet paper cause itching? Can scented toilet paper cause infection?

@rutvi Hello, Yes it is true. You can be allergic to certain chemicals present in scented toilet paper. Itching around the vaginal area could be vulvitis, a condition that often shows up as itching, burning, redness, or swelling. If you notice these symptoms after using a new type of TP especially if it's scented. You should stop using scented toilet paper If the problems persist, it might be time to visit your doctor she can prescribe something to help with the symptoms. Thanks!
