Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
Seems like a yeast infection.
I suggest you to use an otc topical antifingal cream e.g either clotrimazole 1%cream Or miconazole nitrate 2%cream. In addition i would suggest you to take a single tablet of an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole 150mg.
You may also take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.

Use the same cream and let me know in a week

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I think the cut is part of the same process and should respond to combination of topical and oral antifungal.
