Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Image.
I can see a ring shaped patch in this image which is suggestive of fungal infection.
If she is breast feeding then I would only suggest a topical antifungal cream till the time she is breast feeding e.g she may use either clotrimazole 1% + beclomethasone 0.025% combination cream (clotrin - B cream) Or clobetasone butyrate 0.05% + Miconazole nitrate 2% combination cream (Eumosone - M cream), twice daily for 2-4 weeks.
Orally she might take a tablet of cpm 4 mg twice or thrice daily for symptomatic relief from itching. This is safe during lactation.
These are prescription medications and must be used under supervision and guidance of a doctor.
