The burning inflammation is usually attributed to a fungal infection. Candidiasis widely affects male and female population alike. Put a few drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton pad or gauze and apply it to the impacted area. This needs to be done three times a day, every six hours. Also apply plain natural yoghurt without sugar or any other form of additives to a cotton ball and apply it to the inflamed region. The good bacteria in the yoghurt fights against the harmful yeast causing fungus and the infection.
Apart from addressing the infection, the yoghurt also helps in soothing and calming the region bringing down the redness or itching. Yoghurt must be applied to the region and made to stand for more than hour. This should then be washed with clean water.
The Candida yeast flourishes on high-sugar diets. Hence cut back on you sugar intake and try to adopt natural sugars such as honey or else use alternatives to the chemically treated white sugar. The low-sugar or at best the no-sugar diet must be continued till at such a time the symptoms persist. However you must deliberately obtain ample doses of vitamins (A, B-complex, C) as well as minerals (iron and zinc) in your modified diet.
