Hi,
It might be due to fungal infections.
As the first line of management, you can apply topical antifungal like Clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
