Brief Answer:
Yeast infection, antifungal cream & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your complaints and according to your complaints, it seems to be a yeast infection.
I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal like miconazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 10 days.
If associated with itching and irritation take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further questions.
Regards
Dr. Asmeet
