hi
wecome to healthcare magic,
when i went through your case,i think this has developed due to poor hygiene.The balance between Yeast,bacteria and microorganisms is not maintained,Candida fungus will accelerate.well,inorder to stop all the irritations,
1.try to apply plain yoghurt to the affected area this helps to fight off the yeast and aid in curing process
2.crush a clove or two and apply on the affected area.
3.take 2 tablespoons of baking powder into two cups of warm water and apply the mixture on the affected part.
