Don't use 10% Betadine for local application.
It is too strong.
You should use either Betadine 5% lotion or use Betadine ointment.
You should take Sietz bath twice a day with Betadine 5% dissolved in a basin.
You can take a pain killer in addition.

Hi
Thnxs for your question
Betadine is antiseptics not pain reliever.
If you have pain than complete examination is required for diagnosis and treatment.
