I am a 22year old female and i have recently developed red rash like skin near my vaginal area,its painless though and i also keep it clean,but at times itching persists.I saw it first,when i had applied a lotion to it(a lakme lotion) on my thighs and that part,but now its been 3days,n the skin is now dark red in color.I did not see any major secretions of fluids during all this,and it cannot be an STD.Should i go in for usng clean and dry cream before i visit a doctor or is there any way to test if i am allergic to this cream?(before applying it)
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Tina courts, a kind of fungal infection. I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for proper management of the condition. I usually recommend proper course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor.  You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing ketoconazole during daytime and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas. Take oral antihistamines for itching as required. Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight undergarments. Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
