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 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?
