Hi, Welcome to HCM. You had not mentioned anything about your age and sexual activities. Anyhow yeast infection is a possibility for your discomfort and sores over your genitals. Rule out Diabetes Mallitus. If you are on some drugs like antibiotics or immunosuppresive drugs or oral contraceptives or other hormonal tablets, this could predispose yeast infection. After examination and investigations yeast infection could be confirmed and appropriate anti-fungal antibiotics topical and orally could clear the problem. Sex partners also to be examined and treated. Seek the guidance of your physician. Dr S.Murgan
