i have dealt with dry labia skin for years now on and off almost every week or so. Sometimes it looks worse than other times. My labia/vulva skin is also itchy along with the dryness often and when i scratch it causes the skin to tear open.
sometimes its not always dry though but the itching happens often. A Few times a week for years, it usually itches higher up in the folds of my labia and i scratch and the skin always tears. It can sometimes look more smooth and shiny and sometimes flake up like in the picture. I am sexually active and have not always used protection if that helps you guys.
