    Hi cheryl 55795

    It sounds as if you have a fungal infection..you need to get an anti fungal cream...canesten should be ok...cleanse the area and dry it before usi.ng the cream..fungal bacteria thrive in warm moist places so shower everyday dry the area and use the cream morning and evening for a week until infection is gone.....check with your doc first...best wishes
