Suggest Remedies For Persistent Vaginal Itching
Question: A year ago I was on an antibiotic. Since that time periodically throughout the year I get red rashes and itchy skin (like jock itch I imagine) and it takes a long time for it to go away. I have used Lotrimin and gold bond pwwder but was wondering if there was anything better that would help faster.
Brief Answer:
A photo of the affected skin and following information required...
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I am sorry for the health problems you are facing.
You report to have red rashes and itchy skin periodically. If you are having them right now, can you please:
- send a photo of the affected area to me?
- tell where the rash is located: all over the body or in certain places only?
- have you run any test like skin scrapping examination to determine the right diagnosis?
It is true that the use of antibiotics is often associated with fungal infection. However, the most affected organs are GI and uro-genital tract.
Looking forward to have the requested information in for a more specific answer.
