Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Infection In The Vagina

Posted on Wed, 15 Feb 2017

Question: I did not change my underwear for 3 days and neither did i shower
I have small boils near my vagina what is this?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (18 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Due to improper hygeine

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Small boils in the perineal region and near vagina can be due to bacterial infection of the skin due to improper hygeine.
Chances of herpes or molluscum infection are there, in case you are sexually active,
I will suggest you to consult a dermatologist for proper examination and further treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I was sexually active 3 weeks ago and have been with the same partner for 4 months now i have not had any of these symptoms in these 4 months but this time suddenly i have these synptoms without having sex with him or anyone else. Also this morning i woke up with red like on my butt crack as though the skin is tearing apart
Can this be athletes foot? Or simply a yeast or bacterial infection?

Brief Answer:
Bacterial infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, this seems to be bacterial infection due to inadequate hygeine.
You should take antibiotics timely to treat it. If I were your patient I would give Amoxclav twice a day for 5 days. The butt crack is because of poor hygiene as well and it can succumb to more infection so act quickly and get examined first.
