What are common causes of skin irritations in the genital area?
Skin irritations in the genital area can be caused by a variety of factors. Common causes include allergic reactions to products such as soaps, detergents, or sanitary pads. Other potential causes are infections like yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, can also lead to dryness and irritation. Contact dermatitis from shaving or wearing tight clothing may also be a culprit.
