What Causes Chafing Between Buttocks And Small Pimples In Labia?

I am a 20year old female. I am sexually active. I had chafing between my buttock a few days ago and now my perenial area looks dry and peeling. I also have a very very tiny pimple on the inside of my labia that itches very much. Additionally, i constantly have a yeast infection unless i am on my period. But as soon as it is finished the itching and the yeast comes back. What could these signs be indicating?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yeast infections are common but if you get more than 6 in a year even with proper treatment then your doctor may want to make sure that there are no conditions affecting your immune system eg diabetes, medications that you may be using, autoimmune diseases etc

If you are not receiving appropriate treatment for the yeast infection then it may be that it is not resolving not that it is recurring.

The chaffing in the buttock region is due to the moisture, heat and friction that can occur in this area.

The pimple may be due to infection of an hair follicle in the area.

I hope this helps
