Brief Answer:
Contact dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like allergic contact dermatitis.
It's not fungal infection.
I treat such cases with topical ointment like fluticasone twice a day for 7 days and tablet cetrizine daily in night for a week.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
