Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to bacterial vaginosis and associated fungal infection. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying. A swab test will be helpful to rule out this. For such condition I would recommend using vaginal suppositories with combination of clindamycin with clotrimazole. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
