Brief Answer:
Can be due to an infection or allergy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The excessive heat in the vaginal area can be due to an allergy to the vaginal pessary you might have used or due to the infection itself.
A vaginal swab culture is needed to find out the best antibiotic for you. You can do a cold sponging and wash the area thoroughly with a vaginal wash.
Do consult a gynecologist for a direct examination and proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
