Hi
Thank you for follow up query
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the photos.
It appears to be due to fungal infection or yeast infection as diagnosed by your doctor.
Keep area dry.
Clean area with warm water twice daily.
Wear loose cotton inner wears.
I would have advised:
Apply clotrimazole cream or pessary ( candid).
You can take oral antifungal tablets like flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for 4 weeks after consulting your doctor.
Avoid Intercourse ,irritation or friction.
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
