Brief Answer:
It is not fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.
You have mentioned your gender to be female in your query however you have uploaded photograph of male genital hence confused whether you have asked query for yourself or your male partner
Based on the photograph that you have posted you do not have a fungal infection.

Pain while urinating could be due to UTI,
Get your routine urine and urine culture test done to trace out organisms causing this infection.

Start taking antibiotics like Cefexime and Nitrifurantoin twice daily and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotic as per culture report .

Ensure to drink more water.

Thanks and Regards
