Reddish Vagina, Skin Peeling. Is It A Yeast Infection?

Hello, so I m having a weird issue. The area around my vagina is slightly red, and the skin is peeling white flakes. I cant tell if it s yeast infection or what. I don t have any white discharge , it doesn t hurt accept after I had sex once but that s before it showed up red, and it doesn t itch . Also I have been with the same partner for two years and this has never happened. What could it be? Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your description there is more possibility for yeast infection.
You better don't scratch that area, which can further leads to flaring of inflammatory signs.
Consult gynecologist once and get examined to find out the possible cause for your problem and take treatment accordingly.
Both the partners should use the tablets simultaneously and avoid intercourse during this period.
Take care
