Hi there...
It's not a shame to go in for a free consultation and to admit it's because of difficult financial issues is candid and honest.
The pic you posted suggests it may not be. Simple fungal infection but more likely to be Seborrheic Dermatitis or sebopsoriasis.
A more detailed work up may be required with scraping for KOH +/- a local punch biopsy if need be.
Next Steps
Topical 2% ketoconazole lotion application twice daily together with Itraconazole cap orally post meals in a dose of 200mg once daily x 7 days may best help you for now
Do take a pic in 7 days and review.
Health Tips
Avoid shaving the area for now.
