New Doctor?: A pimple like sore is not a fungal infection or something that a steroid cream would be best to treat. Perhaps you need to tell the physician that the treatment plan failed or find a new physician with some expertise in diseases of the skin.

Ok: Maybe it is a cyst or abscess like lesion that needs to be treated with antibiotics or other therapeutic means. Dermatology or a gyn should be able to re-assess the area and try other options, depending on their examination findings. Best wishes.

Get a biopsy: See your gynocologist and get a correct diagnosis and treatment. She may be able to biopsy and remove it while at the visit.
