Thanks doctor for your prompt response.
Just wanted to know is it safe to use candid cream inside the private parts also. as the itching is not only on the surface but also inside.

Brief Answer:
Apply on the surface only.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
You should not apply inside the private parts as it is used for external purposes only.
In your case hormonal changes are also responsible for itching.
You can use fluconazole tablet 150 mg once weekly to treat fungal ( yeast) infection.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.

Thank you. I have visited one doctor and wanted to confirm the diagnosis (if any) with you. Please could you review the attached prescription once and let me know your comments.
Brief Answer:
It is due to vaginal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Nice to hear from you once again.
I have gone through your doctor's prescription.
She had not written the diagnosis but on examination there is inflammation present in vagina and vulgar.
She also prescribed medication to treat your infection and itching.
So it is most probably bacterial vaginosis along with fungal infection.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
