Brief Answer:
Thrush

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern. It sound like you have a fungal infection, otherwise known as thrush. It is pretty common and treatable. Ask at the pharmacy for an anti - mycotic cream or vaginal pessaries (such as Nystatin) and use as directed by the pharmacist. It should bring your relief in 24 hours.

Good intimate hygiene, cotton underwear and keeping your private area dry will help prevent getting the infection again.
I hope this helps. Wishing you good health and all the best.

Brief Answer:
Check back after treatment

Detailed Answer:

I am glad I was able to help. Use the cream as directed and please check back after you complete the treatment for follow up.
Keep in mind that thrush has a tendency to recur, especially in cases of decreased immunity and precautions should be taken to prevent recurrence.
