Brief Answer:
Clotrimazole powder
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The area of belly folds is very moist and is prone to develop fungal infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical anti fungals.
Various anti fungal powders like clotrimazole dusting powder are available.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition.
If possible upload a photograph of the affected area.
This will help me in assessing your condition better
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Wishing you good health,
Thank you
