You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
