Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. This can be due to changing of normal bacterial flora of vagina due to antibiotic therapy you had. In such case using clotrimazole cream ( monistat ) for local application will be helpful. You can also use intimate wash daily to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
