Brief Answer:
Topical antifungal cream, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
I would recommend you to keep the area dry and clean and apply topical antifungal like miconazole or clotrimazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 2 weeks and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 10 days.
This should resolve your problem.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
