Hello,

* There can be various possible issues with redness and pain in the clitoris which suggests inflammation as

- rashes of cloth irritation ( as shorts )
- perspiration induced or related problem
- a loop in hygiene care
- bacterial or fungal infection of the skin via breach in the continuity of the mucosa
- dryness related itch with secondary sequences

* Depending upon the underlying cause, management varies greatly, however, following guidelines will help you

- drink more liquids
- local cleansing with antiseptic liquid or soap
- hygiene care with clean, cotton inner wears
- avoid prolong use of same tampons
- avoid clothes directly irritating the clitoris as tight underwear, jeans, sshorts or others
- local application of aloe vera gel

* Discuss the need of any anti fungal or anti bacterial medications in this regard to heal it faster with your OBGY during your planned scheduled visit.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
