question: i am 41 and have recently had vulva itching which i have been treating with vaginal itch cream. about 2 weeks into this i noticed the vulva area had white peeling skin and i have a small area on my lip area that is a bit sore and was irritated after sex. i am married and have had only 1 partner in the last 25yrs. i was diagnosed with HPV as a teenager but haven't had any abnormal pap tests since then.
