Is Itching On The Clitoris Suggestive Of Fungal Infection?

I am feeling lot of itching on the clitoris. I guess its a fungal infection.
Had the same problem few years ago. That time doctor has prescribed a capsule which should be inserted in vagina for 3 consecutive days. Unfortunately I lost the prescription. If you could suggest a similar medicine for the problem.
Regards,
XXXX
Hygiene.Lactic acid wash. Oral and local antifungal agents.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there. I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
First of all do not panic.
I would like to know if you are sexually active?
Secondly, do you get lot of sweating, especially near private parts?
I hope, you are sure that itching is on clitoris and not around vaginal opening.
I will suggest you to get gynecologist check up done.at the earliest.
Till then, please keep private parts clean and dry. use of Lactic acid containing wash at bath time is advisable.
If needed use local antifungal ointment.
Oral antifungal agents can be taken with the help of your treating gynecologist.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please revert back for any queries.
Thanks.
Dr. Purushottam Neurgankar
