Thank you for the reply. I want to know if any other medications are necessary and if I should apply any ointment. I am using sodium fusidate and povidine iodine. And if it is a staph infection? Do I have uti? I want to know what caused the infection. I am a virgin
Brief Answer:
You can use the ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can apply sodium fusidate ointment and press it to remove the discharge. It can be a bacterial infection. It is not associated with UTI. Such infections can happen due to shaving or crushing of the glands with tight undergarments or vigorous rubbing.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
