Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are evident of fungal infection of the genital area. These fungus are the normal comensals of the genital which will be kept under control by the helpful bacteria, whenever there is a imbalance in the environment these fungus will activate and produce their symptoms.

As your having this infection for which you are taking antifungal medications, the symptoms will come down in 5-7 days. The appearance of red swollen like cut on the top of the clitoris is a sequel of the fungal infection.

In addition to the drug you are on, I would suggest you to apply antifungal cream on the lesion which will fasten the recovery.
Thank you.
