Brief Answer:
Most likely due to fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection. Using ointments containing combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like hydrocortisone for local application will be helpful. This is available in brands like daktarin.
If you provide the picture of lesions then it will be more helpful.

If you have constipation then take stool softeners like lactulose or sorbitol solution at bed time. Taking fiber supplements or dried prunes and plenty of plain water daily is also good.

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