Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Having treatment for vaginal discharge multiple times without being relieved of discharge is distressing. Bacterial vaginosis is usually associated with super added fungal infections and if not treated vigorously is notorious for recurrence. A common reason of recurrent infections is simultaneous improper treatment of the partner which keeps on reinfecting the female partner repeatedly.

Vaginal swab culture and antibiotic sensitivity test will be helpful in determining the antibiotic which will be most suitable for your infection.

You need to take antifungal drugs orally along with antibacterial agent in order to treat any super added infection that might have been present.

Fluconazole and azithromycin are considered as considerably effective drugs. You can consult your gynaecologist for selecting the best drug for you after proper examination.

The recurrence of infection in your case is most likely due to the incomplete treatment. The local anti fungal creams are not sufficient for full cure.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello,

Thanks for writing again.

The boils on your skin are likely to be due to superficial skin infection. In addition to the above suggestions, you also need to rule out diabetes by a blood glucose test.

You may also need to get systemic antibiotics like Cloxacillin prescribed from your dermatologist after an examination.

Hope my answer is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
