I started douching 2 days ago with hydrogen peroxide 1/5 and distilled water 1/5 for vaginal infection. afterwards i started feeling itchy in my vaginal area. has anyone experienced this before? I used a small travel douche as an applicator so i don't know if this was one of the cause.

I too started using the H2O2 with a tampon and started having extreme itching on the outside of my vagina. Is this normal? I am going to continue the treatment because I am tired of having BV with the hopes that the itching goes away. If anyone has solutions that would be great.

I imagine it's because the vagina is irritated - but if it is BV then it should work. I'd probably put some plain yogurt in there afterward to replenish the good bacteria, and soothe/lube it a little.

I would wager that the bubbles are probably causing the itching. I find any time I use HP (on cuts and wounds even) it itches like mad from the sensation of the bubbles when they pop. Even MO can sting/itch/burn when it froths up on the skin, so this may be the issue. It should go away within a fairly short time after treatment though.
