Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. From your description it sounds like yeast infection. For that you can use over the counter anti fungal creams or ointments like miconazole or clotrimazole for local application. Use warm water or saline to wash the area. Avoid soaps and irritants as it can cause more irritation.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
