Hello,

Yes, from what you are describing, it seems a yeast infection. However, a picture of the affected area can provide more details.

Usually, we do recommend to use clotrimazole cream intra-and peri-vaginally to treat it. However, still need to confirm the diagnosis. Please keep good local hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
