Diabetic. Having External Vaginal Inflammation And Burning. Used Desonide, But No Relief. Taking Cephalexin. Suggest?

I got tested for diabetes ..also negative
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX
After analyzing your complaints and seeing your report, I feel its a labial infection which has caused vulval excoriarion. Kindly stop using things which will aggravate Vulvitis like Scented or colored toilet tissue.Hot tubs and swimming pools.Leaving a wet swimming suit on for a long period. Allergic reactions to products such as: soaps, shampoos, bubble baths,powders, deodorants, sanitary napkins, non-cotton underwear, vaginal douches,topical steroid medications.
Kindly follow below instructions:
1)Baths containing soothing compounds such as Aveeno baths or comfrey tea baths.
2)Stopping the use of any products that may be a contributing factor.
3)The vulva should be kept clean, dry, and cool. Always remember to wipe from front to back.
4)Using sterile, non-irritating personal lubricants such as K-Y Jelly, or Astroglide during sexual activity.
5)Learning to reduce stress---As stress is a contributing factor
6)Eating an adequate and nutritious diet.
7)Making sure you get enough sleep at night.
8)Antifungal creams/powders have shown to be helpful--You can try Ketoconazole after consulting your treating physician.
If the vulval irritation is persisting even after above treatment you will probably need further investigations to rule out any other possibilities.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.

Yes, you can try clotrimazole cream. DO NOT SCRATCH VULVAL AREA. It would be appropriate to rule out urine test can be useful. Drink lot of water. And follow above instructions.
If the symptoms still persisting, the possibility of vulvar vestibulitis or i is Vulvodynia (Vulvodynia is the term used to describe the condition experienced by women who have the sensation of vulval burning and soreness in the absence of any obvious skin condition or infection) needs to be considered. It is treated with tricyclic antidepressants. These can be prescribed by your doctor.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer.

and should i use cream if there is no burning and inflammation.Please advice.
Thanks
It’s nice to hear from you again. Kindly stop applying the cream as there is no inflammation/ burning. Regarding the loose skin, it will take time to get back to its normal state. Don't forget to follow the instructions which I had described you earlier.
Hope you are happy with my answers.

Yes inflammatory swelling will come down. It will take time. But, as I advised you previously if the symptom recurs you need to be evaluated for other causes.
