A rash in your vaginal area (vulva) may be caused by irritation
of the skin from many sources, such as clothes rubbing against
the skin. Rashes that occur without other symptoms are usually
minor and often go away with home treatment. A common cause of a
rash is contact with a substance that causes irritation or an
allergic reaction (contact dermatitis). Soaps, detergents,
shampoos, perfumes, or lotions can cause contact dermatitis.
Often the rash from contact dermatitis is very itchy, but it is
rarely serious. Changing your soap or detergent may be all you
need to do to prevent this type of rash. Other conditions that
