Hello.
Thank you for posting your query in HCM.
See primarily, you are having recurrent infections. It is mostly fungal, but other bacteria can be associated.
Do the following-
Maintain genital cleanliness.
Take fluconazole tablet once weekly for 4 weeks.
Get a culture of your discharge done.
Avoid sex until treatment is completed.
After the reports come, the proper cause will be evaluated and treated accordingly.
You can consult a dermatologist.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
