Hello,
You should wash the area only when your treating doctor advises. Regarding treatment, wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Thanks so much for your reply. I finally ended up taking some tylenol pm to go to sleep, that helped quite a bit. I am feeling much better now and I don't have the pain I was feeling that night, everythig seems to be healing nicely.
