Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are a known case of chronic fungal infection patient and these fungal infections are in the genital areas. The fungus are the normal comensals of the genitals and they will be kept under control by the useful organisms and whenever there is a imbalance in the environment these organisms will activate and produce tge symptoms.

As you are frequently getting these fungal infection I would suggest you to follow
1.Mantain the good hygiene and keep the area dry and clean
2. Oral antifungal like flucanazole, once in a week for 8-10 weeks
3. Topical antifungal cream
4. Oral antihistamines.

These measures will improve your conditions.
Thank you.
