Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection or eczema. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying.
For such condition i would recommend using ointments with combination of anti fungal agents like miconazole, antibacterial like gentamycin and corticosteroid like beclamethasone for local application.
Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
