Yellowish vaginal discharge and itching
Hello. I have intense itching in my vaginal area, and there is a regular, yellowish discharge since past three days. Applied Candiderma several times, but no relief. Unable to visit my family doctor due to Divaali. Any medication or home treatment I can take to help with this please? Thanks.

You are suffering from bacterial vaginosis most probably.
Consult for prescription please.

Yellowish discharge with itching that hasn't settled after using Candiderma points away from a simple yeast infection, since that cream usually helps within a few days if yeast is the cause. Bacterial vaginosis or another infection can look similar but needs a different treatment, so a vaginal swab test would give you a clear answer.
Next Steps
Until you can get seen, wear loose cotton underwear, skip douching or scented washes, and keep the area dry. Please see a gynaecologist as soon as you can once Diwali is over, so you get a swab test and the right treatment.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if you get pelvic pain, fever, or a foul smell to the discharge, since that needs prompt attention.
