I have white scaly skin on my vulva. Kindly help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Do not worry or stress. White scaly skin on the vulva is mostly a yeast infection called vaginal candidiasis. The following conditions cause this:

1) When the pH (potential of hydrogen) of your vaginal region is changed.

2) Wearing wet or improperly dried undergarments.

3) When immunity is low.

So the pH of the vaginal region can be changed either due to the use of normal soaps, Dettol (Chloroxylenol), or other non pH regulated washes as used. The pH may be changed when there is another infection like a sexually transmitted infection STI (sexually transmitted diseases) (this is why the swab was taken). This will cause the normal, natural bacteria of the skin lost, and that is replaced by infection-causing bacteria and fungi (Candida). The Clingen forte (Clindamycin, Clotrimazole, and Tinidazole) and AF Kit (Azithromycin and Ornidazole) will help to treat almost all STI and fungal infections. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen), VDRL (venereal disease research laboratory) are sexually acquired and also cause a fall in immunity. That is why you have been advised to get them done. There is nothing to worry about. These are just precautionary tests. So do get them done.

I hope this was useful. In case of any doubts, kindly revert. I will be happy to help you.
