Hi,

Please wash the creams off the part, put some steroid ointment to reduce the allergic reaction. Take tab Cetirizine and a pill of Ibuprofen after dinner. The reaction should go in a day. If not or if problem increases, consult a gynecologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
