Hi, I am a 21 yeard old female with average weight. Since March I have had a stinging itching sensation on my labia and anus.I have a white milky discharge with no odour and no burning sensation when I urinate.

Sometimes I would scratch and my labia majora would bleed.I used some anti fungal cream called adco covospor vaginal cream and the swelling got better and the redness disappeared. Now all is left is the stinging sensation and also I feel a hot sensation in my pubis and in thighs and legs. Please help for I am very worried

Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis.
You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry .
Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region .
Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating.
You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day.
Also you might need to take oral antifungals like fluconazole .
And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
Hope it helps,
