Help!!! Is this thrush?

Last week I didn't have my usual shower gel in the shower so opted to use some Molton brown - was a bit itchy afterwards but managed to look past it. Fast forward some days and in the mean time I've been swimming and now the itch is horrendous! I have no discharge just awful itching and soreness from said itching. I've tried canesten cream, Vagisil, taken the tablet for thrush too (only this morning) and now I'm sat with natural yoghurt all over it! I'm at my wits end 😭 Does this sound like thrush? Doctor prescribed a canesten cream that also has mild steroid but that just seriously intensified the itch. Please can someone advise? 🥺

It's probably just from the gel. I get horrifically itchy bits if I use gel or sanitary pads. Goes away after a week or so.. Probably not what you want to hear

Sorry realise I didn't actually give any helpful advice! Haven't found anything to help much. Canestan cream can't do any harm and will be cooling

Try an antihistamine for the itch meantime?
