HI, I understand your concern. I think of two possibilities in your case. -You might be allergic to erythromycin when only Betamethasone cream & withdrawal of erythromycin along with anti allergic pills would help. - You have fungal infection ( along with thick white discharge ) .. which needs treatment of both sex partners / oral fluconazole. Consult your gynecologist for physical evaluatrion & specific treatment. Thanks.
