Suggest Treatment For Itching In Vaginal Area

I m 18 years and a week ago I got my test results back saying I was positive for chlamydia, I took the single dose of the two tablets of azithromycin the day I found out. It s been a week since I took the tablets but I ve noticed that I m itchy down there and this morning I noticed a grayish color on the outer vaginal lips and was wondering what it could be? I m also just finishing my period

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms of itching in vaginal area what you are experiencing could be early stages of yeast infection.
Kindly maintain good hygiene by washing the area twice daily with warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon. Following this, you can also use pH balancing solution like V-wash.
Kindly take antifungal medication like fluconazole in the form of cream application or pessaries as a single dose.
To overcome itching, you can take Tablet.Levocetrizine once daily at bedtime.
Wear loose fitting undergarments and abstain from sexual activity till the symptoms subside completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
