Hello lybrate-user, the discomfort in the genital area may be unrelated to the medicine you are taking. The affected area has to be examined to diagnose with clarity. It could be a fungal infection or an allergic rash. You could apply any plain antifungal cream like nizral at night for a week for the time being. Avoid tight clothes, warmth, moisture in that area. Do consult a local dermatologist if possible when needed.
