Suggest Treatment For Red, Itchy, Painful Rash On Genitals

Hi I am a 18 year old girl and I have had this problem in my private parts for some time now. I have this red rash that when I scratch it can get really red and sore it extends on the sides of my vagina to my bum crack. It is very painful at times I have tried creams, change underwear, moisturising and every thing but it won't go away. It can hurt to pee, touch and when I shower I make sure I dry myself off but it hurts. My bum crack can bleed a lot when I wipe the area. Can you help me I don't know what this is and I am not very comfortable going to a female doctor. I will if it continues much longer the pain and redness is getting worse the longer it goes on.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history and can say that the itchy, painful rash on your genitals is due to fungal infection.

However, metabolic problems (e.g.diabetes) should be ruled out through blood tests (fasting blood glucose test, hormonal balance).

Other vaginal infections should be ruled out through vaginal swab testing.

I advise to:
- keep a good hygiene of your genitalia
- use hypoallergic detergents
- apply miconazole + hydrocortisone cream locally

for at least 12 nights.

I understand you might feel comfortable going to the female doctor, however, it is necessary to do such consultation as you might need oral prescription medications.

All the best!
