Its definitely fungal infection. Simultaneous treatment for both of you is important . Try Candid B( Combination of anti-fungal and steroid) which will definitely help. Keep the area clean and dry. Wash your undergarments with hot water every day to ash off all the detergent from it. Use separate sanitary towels. Anti-histaminics will definitely help to reduce the itch.
