Brief Answer:
fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably she has developed fungal infection.
I treat such cases with topical antifungal creams like clotrimazole 1 % cream.
It is safe and effective.
It is to be applied twice a day for a month.
She can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
