Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggesting that chronic diarrhea is followed by fungal infection. These area are known for fungal infection as yeast are the normal commensal of the genitals and the anus.

These fungus are kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is change in environment these fungus will activate and produces these symptoms.

I would suggest you to follow
1. Keep the area clean and dry.
2. Topical antifungal cream will help to reduce the symptoms.
3. Single dose of oral Diflucan, 150 mg.
4.Maintain good food hygiene and drink lot of fluid
Thank you.
