What Causes Irritation And Itching Sensation On Vaginal Area?

I have been having an itch on my vagina for the past 2-3 days and it got irritated after itching. My chums got over a day before. I have used a sanitary pad for more than 24 hours. Is it because of that. Can I use surfaz anti fungal cream. Need your help. Thanks

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to yeast infection. It is better to have a local examination by gynecologist and swab to rule out that. For such case i advise antifungals clotrimazole cream for local application. Surfaz is also clotrimazole antifungal cream. Using of intiate wash also will be helpful to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting further infections. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
