Accepted Answer

Itch: Itch in that area is often due to moisture or friction. Occasionally a yeast infection is the cause. If tinactin isn't effective, keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight jeans, wear white cotton underwear and apply a cortisone type ointment. If rash appears have your physician examine the area.

Question 5

i have numbness in tailbone area, very dry labia looks, like reptile skin, itching, discoloration of labia almost bruised looking. doesnt hurt to urinate or shower, do have pain after skin is touched. was treated with diflucan for yeast monday?

Accepted Answer

Yeast vaginitis: I can't associate sacral-coccyxgeal numbness with the yeast vaginitis, but itching is common. The labial changes appear chronic &amp; more than what yeast vulval infections cause. In my experience, onetime oral diflucan is more effective in younger women so you might also apply antiyeast  cream to the vulva. Consult a dermatologist as needed for further evaluation of the skin problems.
