Hi,

This is usually self-limiting and may not indicate any disorder, however, in some cases, urinary or std may be present if this last for more days.

I will suggest you keep the private parts clean and dry. Use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash at Bath time is advisable. Use of Condom, over the period of the next 2 weeks while having sexual activity is advisable.

STD tests are done then in case of positivity you can have a week-long course of Doxycycline and antifungal agents like Fluconazole.

A local ointment containing clotrimazole and clindamycin to be applied to the private parts and vaginal tablets of Clotrimazole and Clindamycin.

Please seek prescription help from your treating gynecologist for getting oral, local and vaginal antibacterial and antifungal agents.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
