Detailed Answer:
After a month, if the tissues are still raw, then the infection has to be very severe.
Apart from Premarin, please try Clotrimazole ointment locally too.
And a painkiller if you have trouble sleeping until Monday.
As a last resort, you may apply lignocaine jelly locally to numb the area.
Take care, dear.
