Thank you, is there anything I can put on it? What about antibiotics? Does it come back or normally go away for good? Almost 2 months now, how long does it take to go away?
Is there anything that can cause this from my end? Anything sanitary?

I will go to the pharmacy to get cream specifically for this. The rash is getting smaller but I need something stronger.
Is Cefadroxil a useful antibiotic for this condition?
