81 Yr Old, Having Vaginal, Rectal Rash, Itching. No Help With Antibiotics. Suggestions?

I am an 81 year old women who has a vaginal and rectal rash with symptoms of severe daily itching, similar to a yeast infection. I've used Desitin, vinegar, Vagisil wipes and been given antibiotics for it and nothing has worked so far. I've had the rash for 3 months and really need relief. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since this is over rectal i.e. anus ( may be) and vaginal area .
May be due to exfoliative dermatitis or eczematous dermatitis.
Antibiotic , only helps , when infection is super added .
As you mentioned in your query that itching ( dry) is there so, no bacterial infection.
Consult a Dermatologist and skin biopsy will find out the cause.
Hope I have answered your question.
I further any question I will help.
Get well soon.
