Can I use dettol (the one that says you can use it for personal hygiene and midwifery) after diluting in water to wash down there for vaginal yeast infection? I don?t know for sure if it is the infection, I am experiencing this for the first time. It?s burning, unbearable itching, redness, swollen, and white clumps of vaginal discharge (not sticky or liquids, it?s thick) i?m on birth control pills.

Birth control pills increases vaginal secretions, but if itching is there it indicates infection so please use candid v6 vaginal pessary at night (to be kept in vagina for 1 week. And for washing you can use savlon or vwash for daily purposes. Don't use dettol it will cause itching and burning.

No dettol ! Dettol is the reason you may have gotten the vaginal yeast infection in the first place. The way you describe, you seem to have severe yeast infection. You need a proper consultation for it
