Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Looking at the pic that you have sent it looks like eczematous or psoriatic lesion to me . It is definitely not a fungal infection . I think you should see a dermatologist in person as the lesion needs evaluation.

You can try applying topical steroid like cortisone over it and wait for results otherwise seek a dermatolgist opinion if it does not show improvement.
