Hello Priti By going through your history I understood that It’s basically due to Fungal infection. I am recommending to treatment for it - Rx Tab. Fluconazole 150 mg single dose after food for 7 days. And for itching go with Clotrimazole 2% vaginal cream apply outside vagina at night × 7 days.

Thank you

Hello,

Don’t worry.it seems a fungal infection 🛑Rx; Oint. Candid - on affected area thrice daily for 7 days Tab.cetrizine 10mg at night ( for itching )

If it is very itchy: Hydrocortisone 1% cream : Apply once daily for 3–5 days only, not longer and not inside the vagina.

If symptoms persist after 7 days ,please consult a gynaecologist in person for vaginal swab test

I trust this helps Thank you

Redness and itching in the pubic area, including the labia, can often be indicative of a few possible causes. The most common possibilities include a yeast infection (candidiasis), a bacterial infection like bacterial vaginosis, or irritation from products such as soaps or detergents. Each of these conditions has different treatments, so careful consideration of symptoms will help in guiding treatment. Yeast infections often come with cottage cheese-like discharge, intense itching, and a rash, whereas bacterial infections might lead to a fishy odor, and greyish discharge. If irritation is the cause, it may be tied to any new products that have come into contact with the area recently. Over-the-counter antifungal creams like clotrimazole can be effective for treating yeast infections. These are usually applied directly to the affected area for about a week. For bacterial infections, prescription antibiotics such as metronidazole might be needed, which would require a visit to your healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis and obtain the proper medication. Avoid using any new soaps, douches, or perfumed products in the area to rule out irritation as the cause. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if this is a recurrent issue, it’s crucial to seek medical advice promptly. A healthcare provider can perform a physical examination and potentially run lab tests, which are the only definitive way to identify the infection’s specific cause and ensure you receive the correct treatment. If the itching is severe, and there’s significant swelling or pain, it’s wise to seek medical evaluation sooner rather than later to prevent complications. Keep the area clean and dry in the meantime, wearing loose, cotton underwear to minimize further irritation.
