Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

I can see dry, ed patches which is most likely fungal infection. I suggest you to use a topical antifungal e.g either clotrimazole 1% cream or ketoconazole 2% cream, twice daily for a few days. In addition to this I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
