Brief Answer:
Possible Bacterial Infection. Use Mupirocin and Betamethasone cream.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I suggest that this could be a dermatitis. If not, it might be a bacterial infection.

I feel that mupirocin cream with Betamethasone (a steroid) twice daily will resolve the issue.
Mostly, these cream combinations are available over the counter,
So, please apply this cream and let me know how you stay later on.
This should solve your problem.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
