Hello, from your description it appears that you have fungal infection. You will need dermatologist consultation for it as treatment includes both oral and topical medicines. Keep the area as dry as possible. Avoid self medication with OTC creams as they may contain steroids which can be harmful for skin and will prolong the infection. Hope this helps you. Best regards, Dr Pinanky Jadhav, Eternis Skin Clinic, Pune
