Brief Answer:
To be treated with antifungal medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for sharing the information.

I would make a provisional diagnosis of yeast/fungal infection which requires topical and oral antifungal medications.Since these are prescription medications I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope this answers your query.
