See your doctor: It is ideal to have a ulture of vaginal discharge. Likely you have yeast infection.

Question 9

red patch in groin area itches?

Accepted Answer

Could be: A simple as a basic fungal infection - so called jock itch/tinea crura.  But it also could be related to yeast, a bacteria known as corynebacteria(erythrasma), "inverse" psoriasis or just plain irritation.  It's hard to say without seeing it but odds are it's likely "jock itch".  You could consider trying over the counter Lotrimin (clotrimazole) to see if it helps.  Otherwise seek the input of your doctor.

Question 10

very bad bruise and it itches why?

Accepted Answer

Healing: If it is a very bad bruise, cells are damaged and release chemicals that may cause itching, such as histamine from mast cells. Also as a wound, the bruise, heals it contracts and this causes itching from the contraction.
