Hello,

First of all, do not panic. In my opinion, your symptoms can be due to irritation of the delicate skin of the vulva due to use of a lace thong. I will suggest you to avoid using the same.

Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for a broad spectrum antibiotic like Azithromycin 500 mg daily for 3 days, tablet Fluconazole 150 mg once in a week for 2 weeks, and for local application ointment containing antibacterial, anti-fungal and mild steroid agent- 2 times a day for 7 days.

Keep private parts clean and dry. Use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash during bath time is advisable.

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

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
