What Causes Severe Itching Around Vagina?

Hello, i have a terrible itch around the surface of my vagina and also my thigh. I m overweight so usually the area around the thigh always brush against one another.but it was never as bad as this.it s been more than a month now and it s not getting any better.the worst part is,it s starting to spread and i don t know why, the itchy parts are always wet as if it oozes out some sort of liquid which is orderless.I had to frequently change my underwear.sometimes the itchiness is bearable,but sometimes,especially during night time,the itchness was so bad, i often scratch it without realising in my sleep.right now,i only use some antiseptic powder and honey (read it somewhere that people said it can cure skin problems).but it s not helping much.please help me..

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having fungal infection on the part.
due to overweight there might be having constant rubbing with plenty of perspiration aggravates the condition.
Reduce your weight,
Avoid more perspiration and keep local part dry.
Wear cotton inner wears, this will absorb sweating.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Go for one oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Take Cetrizine or Benadryl for itching.
It also looks like having supera dded bacterial infection so you may take antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
