What Causes Severe Itching In The Vagina And Anus?

Hello I am experiencing something that is bothering me. I have a severe case of itching around the vagina as well as the anus. I thought it was a yeast infection. I tried Monistat 7 with no relief. I also have round dry patches in the same areas. I am at a loss and need some advice. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your problem can be due to fungal infection or due to irritation from the use of soaps or dryness. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area. Instead, you can use warm water. You can apply ointments containing antifungal agents like Terbinafine and corticosteroids like Fluocinolone. Use loose and cotton underwear. Avoid using underwear while sleeping.

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