Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Good day.

It sounds like a fungal infection. You can apply an antifungal cream like Candid cream twice daily for three weeks minimum. If problem persists, please meet a dermatologist. DO you have diabetes? I don't think this is due to ovulation or other hormone problems. H

It is important to have your periods atleast once in 2-3 months. Otherwise it can cause trouble like endometrial thickness.
Please consult an endocrinologist for your period issues.
