Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. For yeast infection i would recommend using anti fungal creams like clotrimazole for local application. But if you had unprotected sexual intercourse recently then problems like syphilis should be ruled out by consulting a dermatovenerologist.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
