Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It may be STD if there was recent unprotected intercourse so she should be checked for herpes or HPC infections. Other causes include pylonidal sinus or allergy reaction and Nistatin or similar cream may be beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
