Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Based on the location and since its associated with itching I suspect it to be due to fungal infection.

Apply MICOGEL gel twice daily after thorough washing, this will reduce infection in a week or less.

Also, do take a dose of Tab Benadryl for itching not more than twice a day for next three days.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
