Is There A Cream To Cure Cracked, Raw Skin Of Outer Lips Of Vagina?
I have cracked raw skin on the whole of my outer lips on my vagina, and into my groin. its swollen and dry and also very itchy, it can br very sore and is keeping me awake at night. I had a bout of urtacaria and this started around the same time. My body has been clear for a while now but i cant seem to get rid of this here. Could it be linked? Is there a cream i can use to help with the itching and irritation?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
cracked perineum skin associated with itching is likely to be due to fungal infection caused by Candida.
Keeping the area clean and dry will be helpful.
Local application of antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole will be helpful.
Take care
