What Causes Open Sores On The Clitoris After Using Steroid Ointment?
I went in and has a swab done and test came back as a yeast infection. I started using monistat7 and it took some of the itch away and the clumpy white discharge. It kept itching to doctor gave me a steroid ointment with a fungal fighter. Now i have open sores arounf my clitorus and one above it. Is this an reaction to the ointment or could it be a herpes outbreak?
