Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely fungal infection.For such cases i advise ketoconazole in the form of powder,lotion or soap for application.If hair can be removed without irritation you can do that also.Bathing in hot water with some dettol or savlon also gives relief.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
I find this answer helpful
