Hopefully by now your symptoms have improved. Often with oral fluconazole it can take several days after finishing for your symptoms to clear. The dose you have taken should have been enough to treat you and re dosing unnecessary.
An antifungal cream may help with your symptoms but probably unnecessary as the fluconazole takes effect.
Lastly, if you are sensitive to latex then the condom would have irritated your problem.
Hope this helps.
