Fungal infections can give such problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Fungal (yeast) infection can give such problem. You can use antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole which is available as over the counter for local application. Avoid soaps and irritans to wash the genital area as it can cause more irritation. You can use saline o warm water. Using intimate wash or V ash daily is also good.

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