Help needed with infection-like symptoms

2026-02-19 05:39:01
Hi, I've been facing itching in the vulvar/vaginal area since about 3 days now. Apart from this, I noticed some swelling yesterday. There's mild burning sensation too. I have no major health concern. I was on antibiotics last month though. Will the OTC Candid ointment suffice? Or does this require some serious attention?
