You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider.
