[|Human|] My inner labia and just inside my vagina have been excruciatingly itchy for the past 2 days, starting the day after I had quite rough sex. I ve tried using natural yoghurt and baking powder douches to neutralise the itch but nothing is working and it s driving me mad. The more I scratch the worse it gets. Any advice as to what it could be/any ways I can treat this?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your history and symptoms seem to be Candidiasis of the genital region. First some general precautions should be followed1. Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating. 2. Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area .3. Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply an antifungal cream. 4. Something like clotrimazole cream helps in most cases. You need to take oral antifungal for 2 weeks. In case of severe itching, take some antihistamine once a day. If inspire of the above measures, the lesions continue to persist or increase, then you might have to see a dermatologist for proper assessment and management. Thank you.
