I am 50 years old and have diabetes, I am obese. I noticed a strange raid on the vulva, and even small sores.
I experience burning and itching discomfort when walking. What could this be caused by, how can I ease the pain. Should I see a doctor? ~ Joasia50
In the case of the described changes, you should visit a gynecologist. It is difficult to say what could be the cause of such a state. Most often, however, it is inflammation. Diabetes mellitus is a disease that promotes inflammation and any inflammation requires intensive treatment. During your visit to the gynecologist, you may need to take a smear for culture and drug resistance testing. Most often, for therapeutic purposes, ointments containing either an antibiotic or antifungal drugs are used. Sitz baths with the use of disinfectants are also helpful.
