I understand your concern..

It could be fungal infection.. Both of you can take a single dose of flucanazole tablet.You can take a course of clotrimazole vaginal tablet for 3days.. You husband can try clotrimazole cream for a week..

Keep the local area clean and dry.. Avoid excessive use of soap.. Use lose cotton panties..

If the infection doesnot subside with this your husband need to consult a urologist for examination to rule out other causes of infection..
