Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to combined fungal and bacterial infection. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use warm water or saline for washing. Using ointments or creams with combination of anti fungal like miconazole , antibacterial like neomycin and corticosteroid like beclamethasone for local application will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
