Hi,

After reading your query it appears to be due to Fungal infection of the area which is quite common due to heat and humidity. Fungal infection of the skin is quite common due to infection and hygiene as well as most commonly due to diabetes. To prevent the further spread maintain good hygiene wash it two times properly. Stay away from hot and humid climate.

If I were your dermatologist then would have treated the fungal infection first by clotrimazole cream or terbinafine cream over the affected areas under medical supervision. I suggest you to take antifungal tablet by mouth such as fluconazole 150 mg alternate days for 15 days.

Reduce your weight if you are overweight or on obese side.

Take care.
