Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing horrible external and internal vaginal itching for the past week and OTC treatment is not working. I have been sexually active.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your case and I understand your concern, such irritation usually occurs due to the wet area and it may cause infections.

  1. You should always clean and dry your genital area after urination.
  2. Keep that area clean shaved.
  3. Change undergarments two times in a day.
  4. Wash your genital with soft cleansers one to two times in a day.

For now you can use Candid-B (Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone) powder locally two to three times in a day and tablet Levocetirizine (antihistamine) twice daily for three days. Is there any smelly discharge?

Feel free to ask further queries,

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
