Current medical status: I had some cultures taken for what I thought might be a vaginal infection and the results came back for Group B Strep. My vaginal opening is burning, even though I am told adults are usually symptom free. There is very little redness and no bumps or blisters.
Current medical treatment: I am taking penicillin for the strep (3 days so far) and using probiotic vaginal suppositories, but the exterior burning and itching is excruciating and waking me up in the middle of the night. None of the ointments I've tried are helping.


The symptoms (exterior burning and itching) are just part of the disorder and it might take several days for them to start disappearing. Meanwhile, you might want to use over-the counter topical corticosteroid cream to reduce the inflammation and ease the symptoms.
