General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out the condition. Applying creams containing clotrimazole will be helpful for this. Clotrimazole cream is available as over the counter in brands like monistat. Avoid soaps or irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
