Hello,

It is possible that you are dealing with yeast infection which causes chaffed skin while staying longer as the age advances. In case regular use of Vagisil is not helping you it is time to seek medical opinion from the skin specialist in your city.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
