Hello,

I can understand your concern. The painful and itching labia indicates that it is infected with fungal growth. Individual personal hygiene may play a role in such growth.

I would advise you to take Fluconazole 150 mg (Fole) once a day for 7-10 days. You can also apply Betnovate-C cream (Betamethasone Valerate + Clioquinol) 2-3 times a day.

Do not wear too tight fitting clothes and switch to cottons if possible. Keep the area sterile while restricting use of scented soaps and perfumes. Always urinate after each and every sexual intercourse.

If you do not find relief in 7-10 days, you should go for vaginal swab analysis. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HCM. Let me know if I can be of any other help.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
