Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through the details.
It appears to be due to fungal infection or irritant dermatitis.
Please keep area clean and dry.
Wear loose cotton inner wears.
Avoid friction or irritation.
I would have advised antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream.
Antihistamines like cetrizine if too itchy.
If either of you have multiple partners, both can get tested for STDs.
You can get back with clear photos for clarification.
Thank you
