Hello,

Since you have history of diabetes, it may take time to cure. You are suggested to get your blood glucose level under control at all cost. If you were in open relationship with multiple partners then get STD tests done to stay on the safer side. Early treatment is best effective.

Apply anti-fungal cream, Miconazole-lotrimin AF on the area affected. Cotrimazole cream is equally effective. Hydrocortizone ointment can be applied if it is chronic or resistant. You can take a course of oral Fluconazole. Avoid sex for a couple of days. Take care of your hygiene. Keep the genital area clean & dry. Wear cotton clothes.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
