HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Your description do seem like Fungal Infection. I would recommend you to get a prescription for BETNOVATE-GM cream and use it for 3 weeks.

Keep the area dry always . Use washed and clean undergarments.

Avoid scratching.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.

Even Quadriderm will do. Don't worry about steroids it will give relief from itching and also reduces inflammation.

Go ahead with Quadriderm but use for 3/weeks.
