General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to vaginal yeast infection.
Improper hygiene, antibiotic use, diabetes, tight clothing, pure immunity increase the risk of infection.
I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo vaginal swab test, KOH mount to confirm cause.
Following treatment will help you:
Vaginal suppository of clotrimazole and lactobacilllus will help to treat
Wash vagina with warm salted water and then apply apple cidar vinegar
Avoid douching and perfumed soap and cosmetics
Wear pure cotton loose inner and maintain hygiene.
Avoid excessive sweet in diet.
Drink plenty of water, eat healthy diet and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
