Brief Answer:
Use oral antifungals.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
The candida infection usually doesn't have discharge.
Taking count that you have it even in other parts of the body you can use oral antifungals such as Fluconazole or Itraconazole. You may need a prescription from your local physician for these.

and please what are the prescription for the drug I have to get?
please write it in a way I can give it to the pharmacist, because initially you told me clotrmazole cream and oral drug like fluconazole
Brief Answer:
Use clotrimazole ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
In my opinion, this maybe a fungal infection and may get better with oral anti-fungal like fluconazole and ointment like clotrimazole. Firstly clotrimazole must be tried. Fluconazole may have side effects, so it should be taken under supervision of a doctor. Clotrimazole is available over the counter. You can apply it over affected areas, two times a day for 5 days. If it doesnot work, then a doctor's visit maybe needed to confirm diagnosis.
So take clotrimazole ointment found over the counter (without prescription) in pharmacy.
