Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. Examination by a gynecologist and swab should be taken to ruled out the condition. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Clotrimazole cream is advised for yeast infection. It is available as over the counter in brands like monistat. You can use that for local application. Using intimate wash regularly is also good to maintain your vaginal PH and normal flora.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
