I would advice you not to use any soap locally as it disturbs the vaginal pH. Instead use lactacyd vaginal wash daily before bath. You can use clotrimazole and see if it helps as well

No, not at all. It has nothing to do with curing scabies. As scabies is a mite infestation & steroids don't kill mites.

Only ointment will not work. First get it properly diagnosed if it is fungal only. If yes then you need to take full course of oral anti fungal tablets.

Hello lybrate-user.
Fungal infections need long term and correct treatment that are modified from time to time depending on response. The infection has become very resistant. We would like to know your detailed history, see the condition and review previous treatments. Certain investigations of blood and skin may also be necessary. Hence kindly schedule a visit with a dermatologist near you or write to us to schedule an appointment. Wishing you health.
