Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read the description and understand your concern.
What you could be having is mixed infection of skin with bacteria and fungal.
Kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily and keep your genitals in good hygiene.
Take a course of antifungal medication like Fluconazole in the form of pessary or cream. Along with it you need to take a course of Tablet. Metronidazole.
Wear loose fitting undergarments and avoid sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
