Hello, Welcome to HCM. if you have severe pain then you can take some antispasmodics like meftal spas. along with some anti emetics. in addition some antibiotics needed like ciprofloxacin. so best to go for ultrasound abdomen and plain x ray. Take liquids and fruits juice more. Thanks for the query. Take care…

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Red sore around the genital area can have numerous cause. Honestly without a clinical examination I wouldn't be able to arrive at a precise diagnosis. However my assumption is these may be due to bacterial or fungal infections. You might discuss with dermatologist available on this forum.

Alternatively I would also urge you to get your urine tested to rule out urinary infections. Drink plenty of fluids. And maintain proper hygeine. You might try treating with combination of antifungal and antibiotic topical creams available over the counter while you plan visit to the doctor.

Take care
