Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely from fungal infection or irritation from chemicals like soaps you use for washing. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash hthe genital area and instead you can use just warm water or saline.
Using anti fungal agents like miconazole (daktarin) or terbinafine (lamisil) ointments/creams for local application will be helpful also.
If still you are getting this then go for herpes 1 and 2 blood test to rule out genital herpes.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
