I am a 65 yr old female with Type 2 Diabetes.   I am having dreadful burning and itching in the anus and urinary area.   I have been using Vaseline, diaper ointment and hydrocortisone ointment 1% last night.   Each only offering temporary relief.  The itching seems less but the burning is ongoing when I sit.     Your advice would be very much appreciated.   I have just finished a course of antibiotics for bronchitis - not sure if that matters.       Thank you in advance NEVER MIND - I DIDNT KNOW THIS NEEDED PAYMENT - I WILL GO SEE MY OWN DOCTOR.SORRY TO TROUBLE  YOU
Hello! I have been through your question. Related your concern and based on your history (use of antibiotics and diabetes type 2) I think this is vaginal and anal yeast(candidiasis) infection usually caused by candida Africans. You should know that you have 2 conditions, use of antibiotics and diabetes, that may predispose women to developing vaginal and anal yeast infections. Anal yeast infection can often be caused by yeast in the digestive system or vagina that has migrated to the anus. Usually itching and burning are the most common signs of a yeast infection and can spread from the vaginal opening to the labia and anus as you have. What I suggest for you first is stop using Vaseline, diaper ointments and HY Chat Doctor. I hope my answer help you. I wish you a quick recovery.
