Hi i think it is candidiasis.it is a fungal infection caused by candida albicans.it presents as white to erythematous patches with sodden appearance and peeling of skin present.
It can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night .flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for 4 weeks and application of nizral ointment twice daily
