You may apply triple antibiotic cream, available over the counter, to the affected area. Do not shave your genitals, it is unhygienic. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
