Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query
It seems your question is incomplete or your question can be elaborated in detail as below:
which genital area do you have itching, is it throughout 24 hrs or predominantly in night, since how long, do you have any history of unprotected sexual contact, location of itching within genital area (like shaft of penis, glans of penis, groin area, scrotal area etc)
Because technically the underlying condition may vary based on answers to the above questions
I would be happy to address your query in a better way after getting the above answers
I am available for further discussions

Thank you for the response to my questions
Itching in foreskin may be indicative "balanitis" i.e infection of the foreskin area.
Cause may be repeated phimosis, etc.
In your case, the possibility that the yeast infection can be acquired by you from girlfriend is high likely, even if it was protected
It is not a worrisome condition.
Usually the medications to which your partner has responded, those medicines are likely to respond to you too. Ideally, consulting a dermatologist and discussing all these issues and testing the secretions below the foreskin and taking appropriate antibiotics brings recovery
It does not lead to any sexual diseases if treated appropriately and adequately.
Hope this address your query

Wish you good health

she is using a candid v gel oinment this will help to reduce my itching
Candid gel should help, but to my mind both of you should take some antifugal tablets, too.
Treatment of both of you must simultaneously on the same day
Consulting a dermatologist will guide you more appropriately
Wish both of you a good health
