No need to apply itch guard. The rash has resolved. Just apply mositurizer over damp skin.

Dont apply any OTC cream. This looks like a Ezcematised fungal infection. Preferably consult a Dermatologist as there is visible scaling of skin and it will b associated with itching and if left unattended it will start spreading all over the body. Consult a Dermatologist fort he same. If its a Primary fungal infection it can b contagious and will take a lot of time to get it treated.
