Why is my V zone so itchy in winter?

Just as the skin on the rest of your body can become dry, chafed, and itchy due to low humidity and cold weather, so can the skin of your outer labia and vulva. Soothe it by applying an antibiotic ointment or petroleum-jelly product before bed, says Francesca Fusco, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, in New York City. Prevent the itching from returning by not soaping up too much down below – a slight lather is fine—since soap dehydrates skin. If your V zone isn’t better after three days, see your derm or gyno.
