Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The fungus are the normal commensals of the genital area. The fungus are kept under control by the helpful organisms,whenever there is a change in environment it will activate and produces the symptoms.

Usually fungal infections will produce the symptoms like itching, scaling, burning sensation and discharge and it should be confirmed by KOH mount.

For the present symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the are clean and dry.
2.Topical antifungal cream like Oint Micanazole will helps to reduce the symptoms.
3.Single dose of oral Diflucan, 150 mg can be tried to control the infection.
4. Oral Antihistamines will help to reduce itching associated with fungal infection.
Thank you.
