Suggest Remedy For Burning Sensation And Severe Itching In Vagina
I have vaginal itching and a little burning. This is the third time in Six weeks. There are two flesh colored bumps that do not itch. No redness, no swelling. Is this just a yeast infection? I have taken over the counter treatments the first 2 times.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have yeast (fungal infection). Many a times, yeast infection co-exits with Trichomonal infection also. Along with the antifungal treatment, please take a course of Metronidazole for Trichomonal infection too.
The fleshy tags you are noticing at the vaginal outlet is most likely to be fungal growth. These infections spread through sexual contact. Hence, irrespective of any symptoms to the male, both the sexual partners should take the treatment simultaneously.
In addition, use Lactobacilli vaginal ovules and Lactobacilli perineal wash. To prevent recurrence:
1. Observe complete sexual abstinence till both of you are declared completely cured.
2. Shave the private parts clean of the hair.
3. Boil underwear : You may use panty liners.
4. Clip the nails short - flush to the skin.
Report to your gynaecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
