Hi
Both you and your partner seem to be suffering from a fungal infection of the genitals which is candida infection.
It presents with whitish curdy discharge in both the partners which can be associated with itching.
You both need to take proper treatment in the form of both oral and topical antifungals so as to heal the infection completely .
I would advise you both to see a nearby dermatologist who can confirm the diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment .
