Brief Answer:
Needs oral antibiotics and pain killers.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The redness and pain on the labia is likely to be due to folliculitis. Just a topical antibiotic cream is not likely to provide a complete relief. You need to take oral pain killer and do a hot compress in the area. Oral antibiotics are also needed to control the infection. Bartholin's abscess needs to be ruled out. Do consult a gynecologist for proper examination and prescription antibiotics.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
