Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It can be due to fungal infection, hormonal imbalance or is a side effect of drug accutane( because it decreases oil gland secretion).
- maintain vaginal hygiene, use cotton loose fitting undergarment, drink a lot of water and take low carbohydrate and healthy and balanced diet.
- Apply antifungal cream
If not relieved then consult a gynaecologist for the same.
Good day.
Regards
Dr.Richa
