Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you posted about the syptoms I think you have fungal infection of genitals (Muco Cutaneous Genital Candidiasis .
Considering the long standing symptoms I suspect it to be due Diabetes Type II In majority of cases this is one of the first presenting symtom of type II diabetes .
Get your blood suagr tests doenon empty stomach and 2 hours afetr lunch to confrim or rule out the same .
Take anti fungal medication like Fluconazole and antibiotic like Augmentin twice daily along with topical anti fungal cream like Candid cream for local application.
Ensure to keep your sugar levels under control (If proved to be diabetes).
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
