Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

Your symptoms are suggestive of vaginitis. It is mainly due to fungal infection. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Keep the area dry and clean.

2. Drink plenty of warm water, and have a soft diet.

3. Use a good antifungal medicine and cream for application.

4. Wear cotton undergarments.

5. Do not wash your vagina frequently with water and soap.

6. Check your blood sugar.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Thanks and regards.
