General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms can be related to a yeast infection. I suggest using an anti-fungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream. I also suggest using an anti fungal medication such as Fluconazole tablet for three days. I also suggest to use an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily to prevent the itching.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
