Question: Hello Doctor, hope u r fine. This is me writing to u again. Actually I had some vaginal irritarion like itching, redness or rash, dryness as well postpartum in the month of December. I went to see a Doctor n she prescribed washing the affected area with Lactacyd soap twice a day n applying candid ointment afterwards. Also the doctor advised me Candid B n washing with Betadine if the first two didn't work out. For the first time Lactacyd n candid helped n the condition improved but after having my first period postpartum I felt itching again around my vagina. But this time when I applied Lactacyd and Candid it wasn't that effective so I had to go for Candid B and Betadine. Then again after applying continuously for 4 or 5 days ( as the doc had advised not to use candid B for more than five days) I felt better but it is reoccurring. And now I wash the area sometimes with Lactacyd and sometimes with Betadine but with no proper relief. And I am also apprehensive about if prolonged use of Betadine, Lactacyd, Candid or candid B for that matter is going to have any adverse effects. Also I would like to mention that the doctor that I consulted diagnosed that it was a rash like thing caused because of prolonged use of sanitary napkins postpartum and that my skin is very sensitive. One more thing that I would like to mention is that besides all this I also have huge pimples like boils, but I guess they are not boils exactly as boils are somewhat painful if I am not wrong and these r not painful but they hurt badly on touching, popping out on my thighs n pubic area which i didnt had before my delivery. Also I had a pale vaginal discharge in the beginning but now it has reduced and also changed to whitish discharge. I am very much irritated because of this condition of mine. Please provide some help Doctor.

I am having one boil on the back side of my left thigh right now but m not able to upload its picture. Yes, m having slight itching sensation around my vagina. Also i feel little bit of dryness as well, although slight discharge is there. As far as redness is concerned i dont think its there though i am not able to see it that's why i could not take a clear picture of it so that i could upload it for ur convenience, even though i tried. Yes, my periods were regular before pregnancy and now also i guess because i have had only two of them postpartum so far and were regular even though they lasted for about 8 or 9 days while as I used to have them for 6 or 7 days at the most. My height is 5 feet 5 inches and my weight before pregnancy was 50 kgs and during pregnancy it had reached to 68 kgs and after delivery it was around 61 kgs. I did not have any such issues in the past. No problem of diabetes either. In fact no such issue with my health in the past. Regarding the blood sugar, no i haven't got that checked as i dont get that much of time since my baby keeps me busy all the time and that's why i chose to go for online consultation.

Hello doc, thankyou for ur help but i wanted to know if there is any oral medicine that u can prescribe me other than the suppository as i am a little bit scared of inserting anything like that into my vagina. Please doc I will b highly grateful. Also my going to inserting get my blood sugar done n will let u know once the reports r available to me
