Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
It primarily appears that she is suffering from a fungal infection of the vulva.
Fungal infection may occur due to poor personal hygiene or decreased immunity.
She must be started on an anti fungal tablet as well as local antifungal cream. She might also be given an anti histaminic like cetrizine to get relief from itching.
Another possibility is Lower urinary tract infection.
Also, the primary problem might be urinary incontinence. Due to leakage of urine, she might be having inflammation of the vulva and surrounding skin.
If possible, visit a dermatologist (skin specialist) to correctly diagnose it after examining.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
