Hi, I m an 18 year old female and for almost two weeks I ve been experiencing - a very rash around my vulva, sore and dry clitoris and opening to vagina, slightly abnormal discharge and occasional swelling. And today I realised that my anal hole is kind of purple with what looks like skin tags. I ve had yeast infections before over the last few years but they have always gone away when I have my period ( I m on the pill ) but it hasn t this time and it s beginning to be unbearable. Is this a yeast infection or something else? Thank you.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms suggests me that you are having a fungal infection, but it should be confirmed by physical examination. Don't be embarrassed to show and confirm the diagnosis. The fungus is the normal commensalism of this area which will be kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in environment because of multiple reason this fungus will multiply and produces the symptoms. I would suggest you to follow1. Keep the area Chat Doctor. 2. Topical antifungal cream should be applied.3. Tab Rifleman, 150 mg single dose will help to control the symptoms.4. For itching, you can take anti histamines. Thank you.
