Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection and dryness. A swab test will be helpful in ruling out this. For such cases in my patients i treat with ointments with combination of antifungal agents like miconazole, anti bacterial like neomycin and corticosteroid like betamethasone. It is also better to avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Hypo allergic soaps like cetaphil also can be used. Using intimate wash regularly will be helpful in maintaining vaginal PH and normal bacterial flora. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
