Good hydration of the skin. Emollients will help. Or just coconut oil, after bath.

It could be due to dry skin or vitamin deficiency.
Mostly it's normal, will subside with good diet and vitamin. Try Zincovit syrup 5 ml once daily for two weeks. Use a mild pH soap and baby sensitive creams and moisturizers. Keep the area moist. Home made remedy is coconut oil, much better than olive oil, as olive oil tends to make the skin darker.
Next Steps
If still does not subside it could be a fungal infection like. In that case we will have to use an antifungal cream
