Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The reason why you could be experiencing such symptoms in the vaginal area could be due to bacterial vaginosis along with yeast infection.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Wash the region with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply antibiotic medication Clindamycin Cream twice daily.
3. Apply anti-fungal medication Fluconazole as a single dose vaginal pessary.
4. Take a course of oral antibiotic medication Tablet.Metronidazole.
5. Use vaginal pH balancing solution 'v wash' regularly.
6. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction and provide proper ventilation.
7. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. Drink good quantities of fluid and eat healthy food.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
