Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. From your description it is most likely fungal infection. In such case using miconazole or clotrimazole cream for local application will be helpful.
Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area as it can cause more irritation. You can use just warm water or saline. Using intimate wash or V wash daily is also good.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

Welcome again.

Thank you for your follow up.

Usually it will get cleared in 1 week with local anti fungal agents like Miconazole or Clotrimazole. If there is no improvement then oral anti fungal agents like Fluconazole weekly once helps.
