Hi there... Understand your issue. It does not appear to be a fungal infection as per the appearance on the pics posted. Clinically appears to be what we could label as a perioral dermatitis. For a clear treatment plan to be given, more details on your medical, personal, sexual, family, psychological & socio-economic history is required together with some more clear digital pics of the problem area. The posted details say 34/Male and & the pics are clearly that of a female. Following this, suggest a video or ONLINE INSTANT Consultation 🙏
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products and home remedies. Use gentle cleansers to wash the area.. avoid soap 🧼🫧 A combination cream containing 1%hydrocortisone +fusidic acid applied twice a day for 2-3 days should give you some relief.
