For the past 4 weeks my clitoral hood has been irritated. I used Vaseline to soothe it and also used vagisil. There are no blisters, just swelling and redness of the hood. A few weeks ago I noticed a clump white discharge but not lately. Could I possibly have a yeast infection or an allergy to a new soap? I constantly take baths instead of showers, could this be triggering this type of reaction?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and the symptoms are suggesting me that you may be having the fungal infection. As the fungus are the normal commensalism of the genitals which will be kept under control by the helpful organisms whenever there is a change in the environment they will multiply and produces the symptoms. But the accurate diagnosis can be made by the physical examinations. With the history I would suggest you to follow1. Maintain the good hygiene of the genitals2. Apply topical antifungal cream like ketaconazole3. Oral Antihistamines. Thank you.
