Hello dear..

Yeast being a fungal infection doesn't respond much to Sofradex cream (which is a combination of Antibiotic & corticosteroid)

Pain during urination indicates that the infection has spread to the urethra

So..it will be better to consult a Dermtologist before it gets further complicated.

Wishing you Good Health & a speedy recovery.

Thanks and take care.

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
Also, please apply antifungal creams and oral antibiotics for better result.
Maintain hygiene by cleaning with soap and water daily and also apply periodic lubricants like Vaseline oil/ coconut oil.
best regards,
DR GS
