I have severe vaginal itching. I do not know if it is from the vaginal cream from a compounding lab is causing it, or yeast, or trichomonas. I started using the Miconazole vaginal cream (3 day treatment) would help but it is the first treatment. I am 63 and married and no other sex partner. Can you please advice? Thank you so much!
