What Causes Foul Smelling,painful Rash Near Vagina?

I have a rash looking thing on the side of my vagina inbetween my thigh in the crease, I had my boyfriend look at it and he said it was just red with no bumps, its kind of painful to touch and sticky, it smells really bad too. I put some alcohol on it and it burnt pretty bad. Please let me know what this is.

Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three ( bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports. As you have mentioned that you have already taken treatment for vaginitis, i would suggest that you now consult your gynaecologist for further treatment as excessive use of all drugs will make the causative organism resisitant which will make it even harder to cure.
The treatment for recurrent infection may require medicines for a longer period of time.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.


I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
