I've been dealing with this ring guard issue on the side of my vagina since October. It's super itchy, and even though I went to a skin doctor and got some medicine, it hasn't cleared up. I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what I should do next or how I can get rid of it. Any suggestions on treatment options that might work better?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.
