Suggest Treatment For Red Lesion And Itching In The Vaginal Area

This has happened to me before and now its happening again. The other day I noticed my vagina was itchy, just around the opening and the clit, I decided to use canestan because I thought maybe I just had a yeast infection or something. It did not help. Today the top of my clit on the left was itchy and when I looked at it I happened to see a little red lesion, it looks almost like a cut. Very confused as to why this is happening and I need suggestions on how to fix my issue?

Hi,

This is usually self-limiting and may not indicate any disorder however, in some cases urinary or std may be present if this last for more days. I will suggest you keep the private parts clean and dry.

Use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash at Bath time is advisable. Use of Condom, over the period of next 2 weeks while having sexual activity is advisable.

I STD tests are done then in case of positivity you can have a week-long course of Doxycycline 100 mg. orally twice a for a week. Antifungal agents like Fluconazole 150 mg once a week.

A local ointment containing clotrimazole and clindamycin twice daily for a week to be applied on the private parts and vaginal tablets of Clotrimazole and Clindamycin at night for 7days.

Please seek prescription help from your treating gynecologist for getting oral, local and vaginal antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
