Welcome to health care magic.

1. You seem to have developed fungal infection of skin around bladder and pubic area.

2. Try Washing the area with warm water twice daily and keep the area dry.

3. If it doesn't reduce by 4days you can consider using antifungal ointment.

4. Also get urine microscopy test done to rule out urinary tract infection.

5. These measures will give you relief
