Betadine was spilled on my privates during pad surgery 3 months ago. i experience pain, intense itching and the skin appears burned. i've tried micanozole several times, vaseline and sitz baths. nothing helps. no odor/discharge. suggestions?

Keep the area clean & try a simple hydrocortisone cream in a thin layer. You likely developed a chemical burn or an individual allergic response to the iodine or other ingredient. Antifungals are unlikely to help. A cool compress can reduce the itching. The area should heal from the inside out in a week or so.
