Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history of sore clitoris and itching suggests me that you may be having some fungal infection.
The fungus are the normal commensals of the genitals which will be kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in environment the fungus gets activated and produces the symptoms.
Repeated bacterial infection can also lead to fungal infection as it can reduce the immunity of the individual. For your symptoms I would suggest you follow
1.Good hygiene practices by keeping the area clean and dry.
2.Topical Anti fungal cream like miconazole should be applied.
3. Oral Diflucan and the recommended dose is 150 mg as a single oral dose.
Thank you.
