Brief Answer:
Try antifungal medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This could also be yeast infection. Please get antifungal vaginal pessaries for 6 days and see if infection reduces.

This may not be age related.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

I was treated for that {after a colonoscopy, had a bladder inf, then yeast. then dr sent me to gyn who tried flagyl then diflucan, then negative test results...thus the diagnosis of thin aging skin, and those two creams to help burning. It's a bit uncomfortable...is this more to just put up with as I age??
