Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attachments.
It is a very common fungal infection and thus can be easily treated
Apply candid -B ointment twice a day for 10 days and take tablet fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks.
It will give you relief soon but it is a recurrent problem and is basically related to local hygiene.
So take care of following points -
- keep the area clean and dry
- use cotton based undergarments
- use vWash perineal wash liquid daily after bath which will help to avoid repeat infections.
Take care
