I have red rashes around my vaginal opening which goes on till the back where the bums meet. Also experience itchiness around this line and this has been a problem I am facing for a few months now. I have had a sudden weight gain around my hip area ... I have been applying an anti fungal cream which gives relief

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out the condition. For such condition you can apply anti fungal creams like clotrimazole for local application. Clotrimazole is available as over the counter in brands like monistat. Avoid using soaps and irritants and instead you can use warm water or saline. Using intimate wash will be helpful to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear. Thanks.
