Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As first-line management, you can apply over the counter available antifungals like Clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water.
Personal hygiene is an important factor to prevent further infections. Please keep the area dry and avoid wearing tight undergarments.
If the symptoms persist a culture sensitivity study is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
