Be gentle. Wash towels in detergent along with baking soda about 1/2 cup and hot water. Underwear the same. Assuming you are using conventional washer. May not work in one of those water-saver types! Then after bathing and patting dry, uses Lotrimin cream as directed. It could be yeast. If the full treatment doesn't work, see a dermatologist. No sex until it clears up and make sure your partner doesn't have yeast infection.
