Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely Yeast infection.For such condition i advise clotrimazole or terbinafine ointment for local application after washing with warm water or saline.Soaps and antiseptics should be avoided as it may cause more irritation.I also advise my patients to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting further infections.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
