Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation. I understand your concern. It appears to be an infection on the right side of the vulva. You need to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. Avoid itching and wearing tight clothes. Do not rub while washing.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you doctor for the reply.

What are the medicines I need to take?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com

I understand your concern. I suggest you take tablets of Metronidazole, Levocetirizine, Omeprazole, and a combination of Paracetamol, Aceclofenac, and Serratiopeptidase. You need to take them twice a day, as it appears to be an infection. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

Hope I have helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
