A 14-year-old is experiencing itchy and painful symptoms in the vaginal area, with a sharp and stabbing pain that started a week ago. There is no odor or discharge, but there is a burning sensation when cleaning or peeing, and the area is red but not swollen. What could be causing this and what over-the-counter medication can be recommended?

I started with a sore throat and got antibiotics which caused a yeast infection. Left untreated for a week, I now have a vaginal rash/sores on the inside. I was prescribed fluconazole 150mg. Is there anything else I can put on the vaginal rash/sores for relief?

I have a late period with a negative pregnancy test. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, I am 25 years old, and I have sickle cell trait and recently had surgery on 3/8/22. What should I do?

I have been dealing with a bad vaginal odor for months. The odor smells fishy, but I am not sexually active and have not experienced any itching, irritation, or pelvic pain. I have tried products like Summer's Eve and Vagisil, but stopped using them due to concerns about their safety. I also tried some home remedies, but cannot remember them. What could be causing this odor and what treatments can I try?

I usually never get yeast infections unless I’m on antibiotics, but now every month during my cycle, I get yeast infections and experience extreme itching. I have changed to organic pads, but the itching persists. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate it?

I have what appears to be a yeast infection in my vagina and a rash on my hands. Do you think they are related? I am 25 years old with a non-hormonal IUD and have not yet started any medication. When did the yeast infection start? Is it constant or does it come and go? Is the rash itchy or swollen? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the yeast infection or anything else?
