It is possibly the fungal infection. Earlier for similar problem a local Doctor gave me 4 capsules to take in 4 weeks and the problem disappeared for a long period.

Hello,

Thanks for the query.

From your description, I think you have 'yeast infection' or 'candidiasis'. The treatment for that is antifungal indection.

You need to see a dermatologist or a physician to get a prescription.

If this is a recurrent problem for your wife and you, please get blood sugars checked

Meanwhile avoid sexual intercourse until your treatment is complete.

You will need a prescription for antibiotics.Your wife should be treated too.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow ups.

Regards
