Edges Of Labia Minora Turning White. Taking Monistat For Vaginal Itching. Is This Due To Monistat?

On day 6 of taking Monistat 7. Previously had rectal, vulvar, and vaginal itching, stomach pains, burning during urination which is now almost completely gone. There's still some itching in the vulva and occasionally anus, also slight burning still during urination. But my main concern is now the edges of labia minora have turned white. At first I assumed it was residue from the monistat, but it cannot be wiped off for the actual skin color has changed. Is this because of the monistat 7 or something else?

hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic,
burning , itching , stomach pain etc are side effect of monistat.. if it has gone well and good if it is still present then i will suggest you to consult your gynecologist..
beside above mentioned side effect monistat can also cause allergic reaction , rash etc .. so you white edge can be because of side effect or residual fungal infection ..
consult your gynecologist..
hope this helps you ..
