I?m confused between candidiasis, Herpes and razor burns. I have vaginal itching since 4-5 days and I tried zocon 150 since I was infected with candidiasis 2 years ago. I took the meds for 3 days still it did not stop. On my 3rd day of taking zocon, I shaved my vagina and later after 2 hrs I noticed small skin coloured bumps which just raises the skin does?t burn. My doctor was unaware of the shaving so considered it Herpes without physical examination and prescribed acivir cream. I google and I?m getting scared if it is herpes which can?t be treated. I have been in sexual relation with a person since 5-6 years and mostly it is unprotected and such thing has never occurred. But I had vaginal irritation and itchiness even before shaving. Please help.

Fungal infection or Ring worm. When occurs in groin, called as jock itch. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds. It's mostly circular or round in appearance. May be red or black in colour. Treatment depending on the type and severity. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it. As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment. So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
