bacterial vaginosis

[worryless]

What is the treatment for this? I have been prescribed antibiotics but the area still feels raw and looks red

The usual treatments for bacterial vaginosis (BV) - see http://www.fpa.org.uk/helpandadvice/sex ... lvaginosis are tablets or intravaginal gel preparations containing Metronidazole or Clindamycin. Alternatively a gel with lactic acid and glycogen is also useful in getting the normal healthy germs (lactobacilli) to grow back & restore the natural acid balance.
But BV only causes discharge, often with a fishy smell, and you've got symptoms of soreness & red rash - which means that you've got something else in addition to BV. The most likely other conditions are Candida (Thrush) or Trichomonas, whci is a sexually transmitted infection with symptoms which mimick BV & Thrush combined.
