Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. I suggest to use an anti-fungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream. I also suggest to use an anti histamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the itching.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
