Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post and seeing the attached picture, I would like to suggest that you should use locally a cream containing a steroid like Betamethasone, an antibiotic like Gentamicin and an antifungal like Miconazole.
You should apply this cream at least three times daily.

You can take oral antihistamine like Cetrizine 10 mg daily if severe itching is present.

Also maintain hygiene of the area.

If the problem persists, get yourself clinically examined by a Dermatologist.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
