Hi dear , I have gone through your question and i understand your concern.

Boric acid capsule
Probiotics
Always make sure you are properly diagnosed before trying to treat yourself at home.

investigation - clinical examination, blood glucose to screen for diabetes as its risk factor, history of lower immunity, HIV, history of long term antibiotic intake.
If the infection continues or returns often, you may need anti-fungal medicine every day for 10 to 14 days, and then once a week for six months.
advice :-
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear can help prevent moisture building up under your foreskin, which lowers the chances of the candida fungus multiplying.
