Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful in ruling out this. You can use clotrimazole cream in such case which is available as over the counter in brands like monistat. If that is clear then it can be due to allergic reaction to some thing you use. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash genital area and instead you can use warm water or saline.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.
