Accepted Answer

Indicates a recurring fungal infection. To treat this effectively, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily for at least 2 weeks.

It is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.
